Experience the extraordinary as the ordinary at Parnham Park. Within the storied walls of Parnham Park unfolds a rare and compelling vision: the personal collection of James Perkins, a man whose life’s work lies at the intersection of nature, art, and the enduring power of craftsmanship. This is not merely a collection - it is a philosophy made tangible, a curated world where every object carries meaning, memory, and meticulous intent.
Each room is a testament to Perkins’s singular ability to weave the past and the present together. These are not static relics, but living artefacts - imbued with spirit, history, and the quiet grandeur of iconic design set within the elegant decay of the Parnham Park estate. This weekend, step into this immersive environment and witness how beauty, legacy, and innovation converge.
Ahead of the auction Parnham Park: A Modern Grand Tour on the Jurassic Coast, taking place on Tuesday 13 May, hear James Perkins share the story behind the collection.
