At Waddesdon Manor, you won't find too many items in glass casings. To Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, the items inside the Manor were furnishings, so most rooms are presented in the same way as they were when the house was used for entertaining.

But the Smoking room is different, you'll find many items still in glass cases. These items have been brought together from other Rothschild collections to evoke a sense of the Renaissance museum. In fact, you can still walk into the room and sense that nineteenth century spirit..
