Wrapped Vase

To prevent delicate porcelain objects from succumbing to natural erosion, the staff at Waddesdon carefully wraps them in cloth. This preservation method is a standard practice used by many collections worldwide. The marble statues adorning the gardens of Waddesdon Manor also receive similar treatment to shield them from harsh English weather conditions. Each summer, they undergo annual conservation maintenance, which includes a thorough brushing and cleaning. For more information on Waddesdon's collection preservation efforts, visit their website.
