Sevres Porcelain Gallery - A few examples of Sevres products.

The Wallace Collection holds the finest museum collection of Antique Sevres Porcelain in the world.

The other great Sevres' collections are

1. The Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle

2. The Rothschild Collection at Waddeson Manor

Both collections were mostly put together in the nineteenth century, and largely as a result of the French Revolution when so many works of art came on the market.
