Scone Palace - the home of the Earls of Mansfield

This writing table was made by Riesener for Queen Marie Antoinette.

Scone Palace would be incomplete without contents which are sympathetic to the traditions of its history. From the time of the 1st Earl of Mansfield, many of the Earls have been avid collectors.

The 2nd Earl, in particular, was able to bring a great many fine things to the Palace, collected while an ambassador abroad.

From furniture to clocks, from ivories to porcelain, Scone Palace houses some of the very finest private collections on display anywhere in Britain.
