Clare Gifford Livres

The Harold Samuel Collection features an exceptional selection of Dutch and Flemish seventeenth-century paintings, recognized as one of Britain's finest assemblies of Old Master art. Bequeathed by Sir Harold Samuel, 1st and last Lord Samuel of Wych Cross, this remarkable collection is housed at Mansion House in the City of London, yet remains relatively obscure. The collection offers a unique glimpse into the artistry and cultural significance of the period, highlighting the importance of preserving such heritage.

Timed to coincide with the first ever public exhibition of the Crystal Sceptre, this new book will present the Sceptre and over 80 of the finest, most historic pieces in the plate collection at Mansion House - the home and office of the Lord Mayor of the City of London.
