The armoury
George IV’s collection of arms, armour and other militaria at Carlton House was renowned. The Armoury was located in five rooms on the attic floor, where the walls and even the ceilings were densely packed with objects. The Armoury contained important works by contemporary makers like Durs Egg and historic European weaponry, as well as gifts and curiosities from across the globe.
