David Linley

Nephew to Queen Elizabeth II, Viscount Linley founded his specialised business in 1985, following training at Parnham House, the school for craftsmen in wood. 

At the time, Sir Roy Strong, then Director of the Victoria and Albert museum commented “David Linley’s furniture will become the antiques of the future”. 

More than 20 years on, LINLEY now enjoys prominence as a bespoke business specialising in the design and production of furniture, upholstery and interiors of superlative quality.  

The crafting of each cabinet commences following a detailed study of the château’s architecture.  David Linley is personally involved in ensuring the each cabinet benefits from both technical accuracy and an aesthetically optimised presentation befitting a precious piece of furniture.  These magnificent pieces will be both fine wine collections of incomparable value and heirlooms of the future.   

A unique hallmark of LINLEY’s work is the inclusion of ‘secret compartments’.  The Grand Cru Château Collection will likewise feature additional storage compartments with the château scale models.
