THE SOUTHWELL COLLECTION

Everett Fine Art is excited to present this remarkable collection of paintings assembled over generations by the Southwell family, once resident at Kings Weston House, a fine 18th-century estate on the outskirts of Bristol.

The collection was first established during the 18th and early 19th centuries, and many of the works were personally chosen for the enjoyment they brought.
When Kings Weston was sold in 1833, much of the collection passed to the Russell branch of the family. The Russells continued to enrich the collection through the 19th century, commissioning works that reflected the interests and pastimes they valued-most notably, portraits of family members, horses and beloved pets. Thanks to the generosity of the Inge family, who acted as custodians during the 20th century, the collection remained largely intact.

In more recent years, the paintings returned to family ownership, where they have been carefully restored and preserved by Lord de Clifford (27th Baron de Clifford). Now, a number of these works are offered for sale.
