Jones Bequest

The Jones Bequest was a major donation of decorative arts, furniture and paintings bequeathed by the British art collector John Jones in 1882.[1] Jones had made a fortune as a military contractor supplying tailoring to the British Army.[2] He had a particular interest in eighteenth century French rococo style and amassed a large amount of originals for his Piccadilly townhouse, second only to the Wallace Collection.[3] At his death in 1882 he left his collection to the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington. In addition his collection featured a number of nineteenth century artworks by figures such as Edwin Landseer and William Powell Frith.[4][5]
