In Europe 1600-1815 over 1100 objects from the V&A’s collections of 17th- and 18th-century European art and design are displayed in a suite of seven galleries. The collection comprises some of the most magnificent works held by the V&A. These galleries have been made possible thanks to the generosity of the Heritage Lottery Fund, the children of Her Highness Sheikha Amna Bint Mohammed Al Thani, the Friends of the V&A, The Selz Foundation, Würth Group, The Wolfson Foundation, Dr Genevieve Davies, William Loschert, the J Paul Getty Jr Charitable Trust and many other private individuals and trusts.

John Jones was a businessman who in 1882 left his large collection of fine and decorative arts to the Museum ‘for the benefit of the nation’. This generous gift now forms the foundation of the 18th-century French decorative arts collections in the Europe 1600-1815 galleries. Other objects from his collection can be found throughout the V&A.
