The Portland Miniatures

Until 31st December 2018

Legendary jewellery designer JAR selects miniatures and jewellery from The Portland Collection.

Joel Arthur Rosenthal, known as JAR, is celebrated for his intricate and extraordinary jewellery. The Paris-based designer makes work for an elite clientele; drawing from the natural beauty of precious stones, and combining their often vibrant colour with sculptural design. His finely tuned expert eye and exacting personal taste are second to none.

For this exhibition, JAR turns his eye to The Portland Miniatures. He has chosen an intriguing selection of jewel-sized paintings. In addition, these miniatures are accompanied by some of his favourite pieces of jewellery from The Portland Collection.

A highlight of the exhibition is a pair of rings that we believe were last together in 1786 – this exhibition will bring them together for the first time in over 230 years.

Opening hours: Monday – Saturday 10am – 5pm, Sunday 10am – 4pm

Admission: Free

As you may have read in the news this morning, The Portland collection has been forced to close following the theft on Tuesday night of the Portland Tiara.

It would appear from the updated statement issued by the Harley Gallery that the Portland Miniatures exhibition is now open again.

PORTLAND TIARA STOLEN FROM THE WELBECK ESTATE: We are deeply saddened about the robbery which took place on Tuesday 20th November 2018 in The Portland Collection gallery. The Welbeck Estate continues to support Nottinghamshire Police with their enquiries and until further notice The Portland Collection will remain closed. The Harley Gallery and Harley Café are open as normal.
