The Royal Collection Returns to the Royal Pavilion

We have been asked by our friends at the Royal Pavilion to promote Her Majesty's incredibly generous gift of the loan of her works of art and treasure originally made for the Prince Regent King George IVth for the Royal Pavilion. A spectacular loan from Her Majesty the Queen is on display at the Royal Pavilion. The culmination of a collaborative venture between Royal Collection Trust and the Royal Pavilion & Museums, over 120 remarkable decorative works of art that were originally commissioned by the Prince Regent, have been relocated from Buckingham Palace and re-united in their previous setting of the Royal Pavilion. We are delighted to help and hope our regulars who visit us should consider a visit to the Royal Pavilion to view them. Many thanks to Laura Wright at SAM Culture. We show a few items that are on display in our photo gallery. A PRINCE'S TREASURE
