TTOT182 The Edwardians: Age of Elegance
RCT Curator, Kathryn Jones, Wednesday 2 July 2025. 7pm UK
The Edwardian era is seen as a golden age of style and glamour, but there is so much more to discover beneath the surface. This was a period of transition, with Britain poised on the brink of the modern age and Europe edging towards war.
Edward VII and Queen Alexandra lived lavish, sociable, fast-paced lives, embracing new trends and technologies. Yet in their collecting we also see a need to retain tradition and record the rapidly changing world around them, as if to preserve a fading way of life.
Join Royal Collection Trust Senior Curator, Kathryn Jones as she examines some of the works of art with which they surrounded themselves, including items of dress and jewellery, and put them in the context of this rapidly evolving period.
