One of the most celebrated Georgian interiors in England has spent the past 95 years inside New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Removed from an Oxfordshire country house in 1931 and shipped across the Atlantic piece by piece, the lavish Rococo dining room remains on display today as one of the museum’s standout period rooms.

The dining room’s original home is Kirtlington Park, a Grade I-listed Palladian estate built in 1742 for Sir James Dashwood. Designed by architect James Gibbs—whose works include London’s St Martin-in-the-Fields and Oxford’s Radcliffe Camera—and later refined by John Sanderson, the residence sits within historic Capability Brown-designed parklands overlooking the Oxfordshire countryside.

Reached by a long drive through the village of Kirtlington, the main house spans nearly 37,000 square feet. Grand Georgian architecture and meticulously restored interiors unfold across a central block flanked by two wings. The standout spaces include a saloon crowned by a 36-foot ceiling, a richly ornamented library with Rococo plasterwork, and the celebrated Monkey Room, where French artist Andien de Clermont painted whimsical scenes of monkeys engaged in human pursuits in 1760.

Over the past eight years, the current owners have overseen an extensive restoration program that renewed the roof, stonework, windows, plumbing, and electrical systems while introducing new kitchens and bathrooms throughout the residence.

“For all its majestic grandeur, Kirtlington Park remains, and always has been, a family home since it was built in the 1740s,” owner Peter Buxton said in a statement. “Over the years the house has played host to many of our most cherished family occasions, from milestone birthdays to weddings.”

Beyond the main residence, 29 acres of gardens and grounds blend historic landscape design with more recent enhancements by acclaimed garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith. Woodland walks, wildflower meadows, broad lawns, and a resurfaced tennis court accompany views toward the Chiltern Hills. Additional accommodations include several cottages and a former indoor tennis court that now serves as storage space.

“Kirtlington Park is one of the finest English country houses,” said Crispin Holborow, country director of Savills Private Office, noting that the property’s proximity to Oxford is likely to appeal to both domestic and international buyers. The estate is on the market through Savills for 12 million pounds, or $16 million.
