tap to explore
Downton is a picturesque Wiltshire village on the banks of the River Avon – a place of thatched cottages, riverside walks and time-honoured traditions. It is a setting that feels warm, gentle and unhurried. Those same qualities inspired the Downton Collection. Its plush waterfall back, curved wings and wooden knuckles bring together classic character and modern comfort.
Just like the village from which it takes its name, this collection is charming, comforting and brimming with classic character for every home.
