The upholstered furniture in the Lady Lever Art Gallery
The heart of the set is the detailed collection catalogue, described in derail and richly illustrated in color and black and white under 103 separate numbers. These pieces usually comprise sets, such as chairs, often with settees or sofas. The attention given to every detail, including the complete history of the set, the frames, the carvings, design, and even the stuffing, webbing, and upholstery, is incredible. All are richly illustrated and include X-rays.
Book Review
Passionate collector
The present show includes some choice offerings without suggesting that [Leverhulme] was either an inspired or especially committed collector of works on paper. Overwhelmingly these acquisitions reinforced his more enthusiastic collection of large-scale paintings in oils. It comes as no surprise that the man who collected major Pre-Raphaelite works by Rossetti and Burne-Jones also owned works on paper by these artists.

Lux Aeterna. (Port Sunlight and William Hesketh Lever, Lord Leverhulme)
Every year on the Sunday nearest September 19th, a special service is held in the church at Port Sunlight in celebration of Lord Leverhulme's birthday. Leverhulme, the Lancastrian soap king, largely planned the village himself, with its own museum, church, library, inn, and concert hall.
