Drawing Room Tapestries, Wrest Park

Both Bron and Nan cared little for the trappings of aristocratic life having had an austere childhood in the New Forest with their rather eccentric father, the radical thinker, Auberon Herbert. Bron had already sold some of fine furnishings from Wrest before the First World War, including perhaps the French tapestries in the Drawing Room, pictured here, which do not appear in the 1917 sales catalogue.
