Olveston Historic Home
Olveston is an authentic and original historic home depicting the life of a wealthy merchant family in the early part of the twentieth century. Designed by acclaimed English architect Sir Ernest George, Olveston was built as a family home furnished with fine art, furniture and artefacts purchased from all around the world.
Opened as a historic house museum in 1967, Olveston is a time capsule as little has changed inside the house since it was occupied as a family home between 1906 to 1966.
Olveston is open 364 days of the year, 9am - 5pm. The gift shop is always open online! Shop for exclusive items, many featuring pictures from the Olveston Collection such as jewellery, greeting cards, tea towels and more.

This dramatically coloured umbrella features a reproduction of Olveston’s oil painting, Roses, by Alfred Henry O’Keeffe (1858 – 1941). This painting is a perennial favourite with Olveston visitors. Now you can find it reproduced and spread across a large and very smart umbrella. Sturdy, with a nifty button for furling and unfurling, and a stylish finial capping it off, this brolly is as functional as it is fabulous.
This stunning silk scarf features the watercolour painting 'Belinda's Beach' by Sir William Russell Flint. 100% silk 450 mm by 1500 mm
