Helen Carless, chairman of SOFAA, who had arranged the event, said: “It is rare to find a house where all the collections are still intact.”

The tour also included commentary from Asian Art specialist and Dore & Rees managing director Lee Young.

At the end of the tour, a home-made tea was laid on for the SOFAA attendees. SOFAA’s next visit is a private view at The Burrell Collection on June 4 with a preview of the Lyon & Turnbull Scottish sale the evening before.
