Architectural Digest recently posted about Dumfries House. This reminded me that a few years ago I saw a documentary video of Prince Charles’ efforts to preserve and restore Dumfries House. Must say that although not previously a great fan of Charles, after seeing this video I had a different opinion. It’s 46 minutes so you’ll need to get a coffee (or a martini according to the time of day).
Dumfries House is a Palladian country house. The house was built in 1750. It contains much of its original furniture designed by Thomas Chippendale. Prince Charles took on the restoration of the home, a great, and expensive project.
