Dame Rosalind Savill obituary
Director of the Wallace Collection museum in London from 1992 to 2011 and a specialist on 18th-century Sèvres porcelain
Back from new year break & so sorry to learn of death of Dame Ros Savile, former Director of Wallace Collection. She was a porcelain expert and I did old books, but she was unbelievably kind & helpful to me when I was Libraries Curator at the National Trust. RIP. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...
