Soft cover. Condición: New. 2nd Edition. From the preface: With its simple form and dark greywacke stone, its great mass spread along a plain grassy platform above the Ettrick Valley, Bowhill might be thought to verge on the austere. For the approaching visitor there is no hint of a family whose ties thread for centuries back through the histories of Scotland and England, little to encourage hope that rich and varied art collections might lie within, or even that these solid stones might have resonated with festivities and celebrations, the setting for warm sentiments and deeper emotions. Bowhill is a most deceptive house. This book falls into two parts, a history of the family, the Scotts of Buccleuch, and the building of Bowhill, and tour of its spectacular rooms.…

Paperback. Condición: New. 2nd ed. In this sumptuous portrait of the house known as 'the English Versailles', the Duke of Buccleuch sets the scene with a history of his ancestors, the Montagus of Boughton, who acquired the manor in Northamptonshire in the reign of Henry VIII. Ralph, 1st Duke of Montagu (1638-1709), Charles II's envoy to Louis XIV, transformed Boughton into a palatial homage to French culture. His son John, the 2nd Duke, was noted for planting long avenues, a love of heraldry, a fondness for practical jokes and the ancient lion he nursed in one of the courtyards.The book showcases Boughton's magnificent painted ceilings, tapestries and Sèvres porcelain. The celebrated art collection also includes striking portraits of Elizabeth I, Charles II and his son the Duke of Monmouth, another Buccleuch ancestor. Van Dyck's friends and contemporaries cluster in the Drawing Room in dozen of grisailles. Most eye-catching of all is the portrait of Shakespeare's muses, the Early and Countess of Southampton. A grand tour takes in the French-inspired façade, the formal State Rooms and the Tudor Great Hall, with their painted ceilings, flamboyant French furniture and the oldest dated carpet in Europe - before moving to the park, with its avenues of soaring limes, network of lakes, and dramatic new sunken pool.…

Soft cover. Condición: New. 2nd Edition. The third in a series of guidebooks to the houses of the Dukes of Buccleuch and Queensberry produced by the Scottish co-publishers of Cornucopia Magazine, this lavishly illustrated book focuses on Boughton House, Northamptonshire, described as the English Versailles . In this sumptuous portrait of the house, now in its considerably expanded 2nd edition, Richard, Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, sets the scene with a history of his ancestors, the Montagus of Boughton, who acquired the manor in Northamptonshire in the reign of Henry VIII. Most memorable is Ralph, 1st Duke of Montagu (1683 1709), Charles II s ambitious ambassador to the court of Louis XIV, who transformed Boughton into a palatial homage to French culture. His son John, the 2nd Duke, is remembered for the miles of avenues he planted, a love of heraldry, a fondness for practical jokes and the ancient lion he nursed in one of the courtyards. The present Duke then takes us on grand tour of the house: the French-inspired façade, the formal State Rooms created for Royalty, the Tudor Great Hall and the labyrinth of courtyards. He draws our attention to dramatic painted ceilings, flamboyant French furniture and the oldest dated carpet in Europe, before moving to the park, with its avenues of soaring limes, network of lakes and newly created sunken pool. The book showcases Boughton s celebrated art collection, with its magnificent tapestries and the outstanding collection of Sèvres porcelain. There are striking portraits of Elizabeth I, Charles II and his son the Duke of Monmouth, another Buccleuch ancestor. Dozens of Van Dyck s friends and contemporaries cluster in the Drawing Room. And most eye-catching of all is the full-length portrait of Shakespeare s muse, the Countess of Southampton. But this is no stuffy museum. The house is still lived in by the Duke and his family and is a thriving hub of artistic life, with regular exhibitions and concerts. Photographs are by Fritz von der Schulenburg, who captures the atmospheric house in all its guises. And the recently appointed archivist Crispin Powell enlivens the history of the house with fascinating new findings. Boughton is open to the public through August.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 3rd Edition. 228 pages, 400 colour images, artist's index and bibliograhy. The lavishly illustrated and expanded 3rd edition of Drumlanrig: The Castle, its People and its Paintings, introduced by the present Duke of Buccleuch, includes the gardens and a selection of surrounding landmarks, including Charles Jencks s magical cosmic landscape, the Crawick Multiverse. With its pink sandstone, many domes and splendid Dumfriesshire setting, Drumlanrig is one of Scotland s most romantic castles, its story entwined with that of the country itself. The 1st Duke of Queensberry took a decade to transform his medieval Douglas stronghold: by 1689, the North Front was a vision of dressed stone, swags, scrolls and spooky faces. The 2nd Duke, known as The Union Duke for his role in the 1707 Act of Union, added the great oak staircase, his son the vast gardens. The 4th Duke, a rakish cousin known as Old Q , left it to future Dukes of Buccleuch and Queensberry to rescue the house and fill it with treasures, such as the 3rd Duke of Montagu s luminous Rembrandt portrait, Old Woman Reading.…
