The seat of the Earls of Pembroke since 1544, Wilton House near Salisbury was remodelled in the Palladian style by Inigo Jones in the 1630s. Illustrated with superb photography throughout, this volume records its architectural and family history, and showcases the building and its gardens, its furniture by William Kent and Thomas Chippendale, and its outstanding collection of classical sculpture and Old Masters, including work by Raphael, Rembrandt and Tintoretto.
Wilton House in Salisbury, England, has been the ancestral home of the Earl of Pembroke for nearly 500 years and boasts one of the most fascinating and varied histories of all Britain s historic houses. Shaped over centuries by the most significant names in architecture and interior design, Wilton is known as the finest example of Palladian architecture in England, with interiors by Inigo Jones and John Webb, furniture by William Kent and Thomas Chippendale, and unparalleled collections of both classical sculpture and Old Master paintings with masterpieces by Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt, and Tintoretto among its rooms. The book explores the development of the house and its collections, from the Van Dyck paintings in Jones s remarkable Single and Double Cube state rooms to the Arundel marbles housed in James Wyatt s Gothic-revival cloisters. With a foreword by the Earl of Pembroke, a revelatory text by the historian John Martin Robinson, and imagery drawn both from Wilton s private archives and from eminent architectural and interiors photographers, this book lifts the veil on Wilton House and its remarkable history.
