Aynhoe Park

Who ever tells you is a collector, send him/her here or better yet let's redirect them here, to see the the world's largest collection of plaster casts, many of which were formerly sold off by the Metropolitan Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.  James Perkins, event organizer and property developer is the owner of the restored Aynhoe Park which is full all kinds of Architectural fragments you can possibly imagine from capital columns, huge rosettes adorning the walls, statues, busts, corbels, brackets, pilasters and you name it.   Stuffed animals sit on tables or stand on floors.  The impressive country house in the Oxfordshire countryside of England dates from the 17th Century and it's furnished with a mixed of sculptural contemporary and traditional furniture.  The detail of the disco balls hanging in the orangery, which looks almost like a museum, is a completely unexpected one. This incredible mansion is available for events, just be careful and don't go and smash anything.  Enjoy!
Love the friction between modern sculptural furniture and the traditional architectural elements.
The huge Acanthus leaf ornaments hanging between Ionic Columns.
