Dumfries House | An Ayrshire Renaissance Exclusive talk at Broughton Place Edinburgh on June 30, 2016 The newly appointed head of Lyon & Turnbull Glasgow and Dumfries House Curator Emeritus, Charlotte Rostek, gave a fascinating and well-received talk on Dumfries House, the country house that was saved for the nation by HRH The Prince of Wales in 2007. Charlotte, who has played a key role in the restoration and conservation of the important 18th-century Robert Adam designed stately home which houses an unrivalled collection of furniture by Thomas Chippendale and three important 18th-century Edinburgh cabinetmakers, gave a unique insight into this extraordinarily multi-faceted heritage project. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the lively presentation which was followed by a viewing of the Fine Furniture and Works of Art auction.
