Compton Verney has a diverse permanent collection. Considered the best in Europe outside the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, there is a collection of Neapolitan art from the Golden Age of Baroque Painting (1600–1800). The designated collection of archaic Chinese bronzes is one of the top three in Europe and there is a small but fine collection of British portraits and one of the best collections of Northern Euroepan sculpture and painting from late Medieval to late Renaissance in England. Compton Verney is also home to the largest collection of British Folk Art in Britain; and a bequest of objects from the textile designer Enid Marx and historian Margaret Lambert.
