Japanese Imari Plates
The collection includes a set of nine exquisitely decorated Imari plates dating from the early 18th Century
China Turret
Derby Ecuelle circa 1810

The entrance to the turret from the Tapestry Drawing Room is ingeniously concealed by a pair of double doors covered with tapestry panels integrated into the design of the drawing room. Interestingly, the decorative ceiling is made of papier-mache and was designed by Robert Mylne in 1773.

This room is dominated by a portrait of the 3rd Duke of Argyll in the robes of Lord Justice-General of Scotland by Allan Ramsay.

Originally designed as a Library this room now displays a wonderful collection of Oriental and European porcelain, including Japanese Imari-ware of the early 18th century, a Meissen dessert service, a large derby dinner service from the early 19th century and other interesting pieces of English porcelain.
