Edward F was a passionate collector and connoisseur of art and antiques. His collection spanned various cultures and eras, showcasing his eclectic taste and appreciation for beauty. Among his prized possessions were some Japanese publishers marks and seals from the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of Japan. In addition to that, Edward F had an affinity for historical engravings, particularly those depicting generals in the German Army. These engravings not only captured the military prowess of these leaders but also served as a testament to Edward's fascination with history. One standout piece in his collection was a porcelain bottle in the Ku Yueh Hsuan style from the Chien Long Period (1736-1796). Its delicate craftsmanship showcased Edward's admiration for Chinese artistry and their mastery of ceramics. Edward also had an eye for interior design, evident in his acquisition of Chinese hand-painted wallpaper from 1928. This stunning wall covering added elegance and charm to any space it adorned. His love for furniture extended to Hepplewhite Mahogany Dining-Room pieces dating back to 1760-1770. These exquisite items exemplified Edward's appreciation for fine craftsmanship during this period. Amongst his most treasured acquisitions were items associated with James I, such as The Venetian Ambassadors Room at Knole bedstead and chair, The King's Bedroom bedstead made specifically for James I, as well as portraits adorning The Leicester Gallery at Knole featuring this influential monarch. Edward also admired architectural elements like chimney-pieces; one notable example being from Audley End while another graced Castle Ashby's King William Drawing room. These intricate designs added grandeur to their respective spaces. Additionally, he possessed a panelled room originating from Bromley-by-Bow's Old Palace - a testament to Edward's dedication towards preserving historical artifacts within his collection. Lastly, no mention of Edward F's collection would be complete without highlighting the State Bedstead by Georges Jacob.
