Lot Essay

The following four lots (130-133) are an amalgam of the splendid contents of Linley Hall and Netley Hall, both in Shropshire, and reflect the taste of two ancient Shropshire families, the Mores and the Hope-Edwardes. In the early 20th century, the two collections, which has been acquired through marriage, inheritance or purchased from prominent late 19th century London dealers, were united by the marriage of Sir Jasper More and Clare Hope-Edwardes, (born Coldwell). Following the refurbishment of the More family seat, Linley Hall, in 1954, much of the furniture from the Hope-Edwardes estate, Netley Hall, was moved to this 18th-century neoclassical mansion.
