The Wallace Collection in Hertford House, London, is a Pandora's box of francophile taste in the late 18th and 19th centuries.  It was amassed by the Marquess of Hertford and his natural son, Sir Richard Wallace and his French wife, who on her death bequeathed the collection to the nation. It is stunning in its quality of fine French furniture, Renaissance bronzes, and Sevres porcelain. But it is the European paintings from Titian, van Dijk, Rubens, Gainsborough and Lawrence that adorn a sumptuous interior, dripping with many pieces: many actually made for Franch royal interiors, including Versailles.
