Specialist note


The purchase in 1935 of Hackwood Park, Hampshire, and a large proportion of its contents by William Berry, 1st Baron Camrose, subsequently 1st Viscount (1879-1954), brought to the house an owner with taste, interest and the ability to bring about a revival in its fortunes. The co-owner of the largest media empire during the period, which included the Financial Times and The Daily Telegraph, Lord Camrose had the financial wherewithal to collect superb fine and decorative art, his eclectic taste encompassing Old Master and British pictures, furniture, oriental carpets and rugs, porcelain, glass and silver.
