New collections inspired by Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace interiors support Royal Collection conservation through retail income.
Royal Collection Trust has introduced two homeware collections and miniature gin bottles, with products manufactured using traditional British craftsmanship techniques to support the organisation’s conservation work.
The Property of the Royal Kitchen range draws from Windsor Castle’s Great Kitchen, recognised as the country’s oldest working kitchen, including butter dishes, cereal bowls, toast plates and utensil pots. The collection includes mugs bearing the inscriptions ‘Property of His Majesty’s Kitchen’ and ‘Property of Her Majesty’s Kitchen’.
All Royal Collection Trust chinaware is produced at The Potteries in Stoke-on-Trent, where items are cast, fired and decorated by hand using techniques employed for 250 years. Wooden kitchen accessories within the range are crafted in Kent by The Oak & Rope Company using sustainable kiln-dried oak.
The East Wing collection takes design elements from hand-painted wallpaper and silk panels in Buckingham Palace’s Yellow Drawing Room and Centre Room. These spaces were originally created for Queen Victoria’s family and feature Chinese and Japanese-inspired decorative arts relocated from George IV’s Royal Pavilion in Brighton.
Royal Collection Trust has also released bottles of its gin range, featuring botanicals from Buckingham Palace, Windsor and the Palace of Holyroodhouse gardens. The Buckingham Palace variant contains 12 botanicals and uses estate-grown raspberries, and mint and lemon thyme from the palace’s Physic Garden.
Products are available through the Royal Collection Trust website and shops in London, Edinburgh and Windsor. Purchase income contributes to Royal Collection conservation and public access programmes.
