Oh my, breathtaking, love the whole video!!!

Extremely well presented and beautiful porcelain collection.

Toby Capwell is a national treasure.

Calling the wood stained is a poor description. Dyed is far more appropriate. The truth I know is we have all the colors we need in natural wood. These guys doing this work back then were not ordinary humans. Spiritual beings? Aliens? Definitely not humans like you and me.

1:55 '...Girls working under Mme. GROVEL...' Indeed, we have heard all we need.

Very enlightening - I will have to return again to the Wallace collection as there's always something new to be seen

would be great so see the armour worn by the lesser wealthy ' working armour' that the lower nobility and average cavalry wore, bled and died in.

What educational tour is this?! Oh man I want to be there… It’s this kind of informational stuff I want & crave! My knowledge on antiques and the arts is so foreign based since everything American must be behind a paywall or something, or just doesn’t exist. Thank you for sharing this for us to see, so we can continue to learn and be simply fascinated to appreciate these rare beauties.

I was stood next to a Sebastiano yesterday. This masterclass was just fascinating, thank you so much

More please !

Very beautiful!!

These things were meant to be worn ONCE? That’s nuts.

Excellent - but too short! I think good bits got edited out. Please post a full hour version.

A superb talk, thank you!

very wonderful

Fabulous video. Totally fascinating. Thank you

Love Remy Renzullo there ❤

Need more of this, absolutely brilliant ❤

Next time show the drawings. Thank you.

Gran conocedora sobre el tema de Sevres Porcelain. El libro qe escribió es fabuloso.

Looks fake

THE BACKGROUND PIANO MUSIC IS MOST ANNOYING.

WHY DOES NO ONE COPY THE ANCIENT GREEK DALYX CHAIR. THE MOST ELEGANT FURNITURE EVER MADE? IT´S ALL ABOUT LINES LIKE THE HUMAN BODY. ELEGANCE DOESN´T REQUIRE MYRIAD DECORATION IN ALL CASES.

Fantastic lectures ruined by not being able to see what they are talking about. Please show full images of the paintings being spoken about rather than a rare cropped mid section that moves ever so slightly it’s distracting.

You are not rich unless you have a suit of armour in your house.

Son jollas maravillosas para admirar al detalle y el extraordinario lujo

This is amazing thank you.

Мы с Вами однофамильцы...

All the turtles are extinct because they were turned into furniture. It's barbaric and shameful. I can't keep watching

Beest Beest Beest 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Thank you

Brilliant, since I stumbled across Toby’s output, I can’t stop watching. I’ve loved the Wallace Collection since a school trip in the 1950s and visit periodically, knowing little detail but bathing in the magnificence of the armour and arms exhibits. To have experienced (albeit second hand via KZbin) Toby explain, share his knowledge and passion has re-lit that little schoolboy’s wonder and awe. So much so that I’ve pre-ordered his latest book on English armour. At a very young age I collected a few beautifully detailed and decorated model knights, probably 1/30th scale, die cast metal. I recall they were ridiculously expensive and weeks of pocket money’s worth for each model, the mounted knights being the most costly. When I went my first school (I must have been coming up to 5 years old) we called that ‘infant school’ in London, no nursery schools or pre-school for the working class in the immediate post-war England, I soon brought three of the small Collection to school to show them off. It was my first experience of heart break to discover at the close of play that somebody had stolen them, I was distraught. They were recovered days later after a bit of a hue and cry and the miscreant chastised by teacher but this varmint had snapped off arms, lost helmets and generally ruined these exquisite apples of my eyes, I never replaced them or asked for birthday presents of these wonderful pieces again and concentrated on Dinky Toys until “I grew out of toys”. Later, I did have an Airfix (or was it Revel?) plastic kit of the ‘Black Knight of Nuremberg’, which I painstakingly glued and assembled and my fascination with the subject has remained to this day but I do miss those wonderful little models which in the schoolboy world of post-war Britain touched me more than the recent military conflict material which obsessed schoolboys and filled our TV screens and cinemas, though being partial to models, naturally I had a large fleet of army vehicles (still got them all in the collection). Phew, apologies for,that long winded dribble, all I actually intended to say was “Thanks Toby, you’ve fanned that dim flame of a 5 year old’s interest in this amazing world”.

Just wonderful ☺️

Is there a print version or an online version of Sir Samuel Meyrick's three volume text on armor?

Vundevah

So much more regarding the "Copying of Antique Sculptures": kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6S5mnuLbcprfdk

more showing of the Raphael's drawings and less of the presenter and the audience would have been good

Fascinating

Georges IV est l'un de mes Rois Britanniques préféré.

Absolutely wonderful, made me buy the book🙏🏻

If it's true 3 pieces of English porcelain predate Boettger's by about 100 years - apparently, the piece in Buck House mysteriously disappeared - I'd hazard a guess Ehrenfried Walter von Tschirnhaus purchased the process on one of his visits. Like Leibniz, whom he knew at the Royal Society, this gentleman was also a sneaky type & as early as 1704 he showed "porcelan" to Leibniz's secretary & so one naturally asks: where did it come from?

Just bought her magnificent volumes on Madame de Pompadour > wonderful.

Dr. Catherine Whistler is a magnificent lecturer and communicator. A wonderful insight into the mind of a genius who effortlessly portrayed the complex compass of the "motions of the mind".

They belong in versaille palace what a shame holding them not in their places

What a magnificent video! The way both Helen and Jûrgen described and explained Boulle´s fantastic technique was a pleasure. Thanks to the Colnaghi Foundation and the staff of the Wallace collection for making these videos. Unfortunately, I will never be able to visit the Wallace collection, therefore this is a real treat. I recommend to all fine furniture lovers Alexandre Pradere´s book "French Furniture Makers" published by Sotheby's

Can we still legally use turtle shell if its farmed?

Omg she is no joke lol those pots at the manor were out of this world and her snow lady gourd thing at the V and A has one of my favorite white crystallines I have ever seen

Excellent.

Thank you Isabelle and Simon I very much enjoyed and appreciated
