French Porcelain in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen

A former Trustee of the Wallace Collection and Honorary President of the French Porcelain Society from 1985 to 1999, he is regarded as one the world's leading authorities on Sevres porcelain and has published extensively on the decorative arts in the Royal Collection. 432 pages per volume, 2,400 illustrations, and 1,000 specially commissioned drawings.
