Bertram House

Bertram House, built in the style known locally as late Georgian, was extensively restored and furnished to give an impression of life in a well-to-do English home during the early years of the British occupation of South Africa.

The establishment of this museum, was largely the result of a bequest made by Winifred Ann Lidderdale, which forms the nucleus of the collection.
Mrs Lidderdale’s bequest comprises ten major collections of which the largest is porcelain, numbering 364 items.

Although the collection consists mainly of English porcelain, it includes fine examples of Chinese export porcelain.

It also includes a superb collection of English Furniture comprising 58 Georgian pieces.
Most of the furniture dates from the latter half of the 18th century.
