The restoration of furniture at Dumfries House
Sir Hugh Roberts, one of the trustees of the charity which owns Dumfries House, a former director of the Royal Collection and Surveyor of the Queens’ Works of Art and an internationally known expert in the furniture and interior decoration of the 18th and 19th centuries replies in full to John Bly writing in the Mail on Sunday:
Mr Bly’s criticisms and concerns are completely unfounded and I strenuously refute them. The furniture and fabric at Dumfries House is being conserved with the greatest care and attention and to the highest possible standard.
