The keystone of the Inspired by Knole project, the conservation studio opened in March 2017. In its first two years of operation, the studio conserved more than 80 percent of Knole’s unique Royal Stuart furniture, picture frames, paintings and objects acquired by the Sackville family since the 17th century. The team of conservators also mentored young conservators on short-term contracts, as well as conservation degree students from City and Guilds of London Art School and University College London.
