Georgian Splendour - 9 January

According to Professor Roy Porter, "the 18th century marked a distinctive moment in the making of modern England. Its society was capitalist, materialist, market-oriented…yet its political institutions and its distributions of wealth and power were unashamedly inegalitarian, hierarchical and privileged.” V&A Guide John Harbord-Hamond will introduce you to some of the magnificent objects created by the famous craftsmen and architects of the Georgian age for those privileged patrons and others who benefited from the growing wealth of that period.
