The European sculpture is wide ranging and has recently been enhanced by the acquisition of an Ideal Head by Antonio Canova. The collections of Renaissance bronzes, maiolica, and rings formed by C.D.E. Fortnum (1820-1899) are of high importance. Other special displays in the galleries include the Farrer, Carter and Conway collections of English silver, the Marshall Collection of Worcester porcelain, the Warren Collection of English delftware, and the Hill Collection of stringed instruments, portrait miniatures, seventeenth-century textiles, and European porcelain.
