We are delighted to present three impressive Roman busts, which include two over-life-size portraits of Roman empresses, which possess a storied collection history in our March Classical Ancient Art auction. Markedly for their having resided in the famed Cobham Hall collection for over two hundred years from the late 18th century.
Cobham Hall has been the residence of various aristocratic families, each leaving their mark on its architecture and landscape. The earliest records of the estate in the 16th century trace back to the Cobham family, who played a significant role in shaping its architectural identity. The Tudor origins of the house are evident in its striking facade, characterised by intricate brickwork and mullioned windows, reflecting the architectural style of the era. In the 17th century the Darnley’s acquired Cobham Hall through marriage, when Sir Charles Heneage, later the 1st Earl of Darnley, married Lady Catherine, the heiress of the estate. The Darnleys have been associated with Cobham Hall ever since, with various family members residing there over the years until the mid-20th century.
