The Marquess of Bath revealed yesterday that he is to auction historical treasures from Longleat, one of Britain's most magnificent stately homes, but rejected suggestions he was "selling the family silver".

He is seeking to raise at least £15m for a maintenance fund, but it is believed that the sale could realise £20m.

Around 400 lots including Dutch old masters, furniture, porcelain and rare books, will be auctioned by Christie's in London on June 13 and 14 to create a maintenance fund for the 9,000 acre estate in Wiltshire, where the number of visitors was hit last year by the foot and mouth crisis.

However, Lord Bath said that while he and the Longleat trustees were saddened by the move, more than 70% of the items had no long-term connection to the house or his family, having been inherited from another house in Northamptonshire shortly after the second world war. He said Longleat's extensive "core collection" would remain untouched.

Speaking at Christie's yesterday, Lord Bath, 69, said: "This is no easy decision but we believe it to be the right one if Longleat is to remain a vibrant, living entity."

Longleat attracted some 360,000 visitors last year, against 400,000 a year in recent times. But Lord Bath said that the decision to hold the auction would have been taken regardless of foot and mouth.

But Longleat's various leisure businesses had "kept us afloat when the traditional sources of agriculture and forestry were in steady decline" and conservation was crucial.

Lord Bath said the sale had not been forced on him but that maintenance would suffer without it.

Lord Hindlip, chairman of Christie's, said the sale would leave the grandeur of the house "unscratched." He described the lots as remarkable, and said the sale could raise up to £20m.

Charles Cator, chairman of Christie's UK, said: "Longleat still has a magnificent collection of 17th and 18th century French furniture, Elizabethan portraits and Italian renaissance paintings as well as many other wonderful things."

Of the Dutch old masters to be auctioned, two of the most important are a pair of full-length portraits by Gerard Terborch, which are expected to fetch between £500,000 and £700,000 in total.

Great for Privacy, Just a Little Flimsy
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
I recently got this room divider to create a bit more privacy in my home office, and it's been really handy. The thick polyester fabric helps block out distractions, and it's great that it's waterproof, so no worries about spills messing it up. The metal feet keep it stable enough, though I've noticed it can feel a bit wobbly if bumped. It's also super easy to fold and store when not in use, which is a huge plus if you have limited space like I do. Overall, it’s a practical addition, though handling it gently might be a good idea.

Perfect for Creating Private Spaces Without the Hassle
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard, Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
I recently picked up this Kecreque 3-panel room divider because we needed a flexible way to break up space in our garage. I wanted a place to hook up a small tv and play my SuperNES — and honestly, it’s been a fantastic purchase! First off, it’s bigger than it looks in pictures — fully opened, it stretches over 8 feet wide and stands about 6 feet tall. The panels are made of a thick, waterproof polyester fabric that feels much sturdier than I expected for the price. Plus, the steel frame is scratch- and rust-resistant, and the curved feet make it really stable. (No wobbling or tipping, even when our cats decide to race past it at full speed.) Assembly was straightforward — my husband did it himself in under 30 minutes with just the included instructions. The panels clip into the frame easily, and you can adjust the angle of each section depending on how much space you want to close off. It’s also surprisingly easy to move and fold up if you need to put it away; I just fold it flat and tuck it into a corner when it’s not in use. I really appreciate how low maintenance it is too — a quick wipe with a damp cloth has kept it clean. It’s been great for creating a semi-private video game nook, but I can also see it being perfect for an office, a church event, or even a kids’ room (the ad says it can “calm down arguments,” and honestly, I can believe it). Final thoughts: This is a sturdy, well-made, and versatile divider that’s easy to set up, reposition, and store. It looks clean and simple in any area or room and has held up well to daily use. Highly recommend if you need a practical and stylish way to create private spaces without committing to permanent walls!

Quality, and not overly complicated
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard, Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
This is so easy to put together, the parts are numbered, and the wordless instructions are clearer than some I've seen. The material/fabric is pleasant to the touch, and of decent quality. I like that the panels can be used independently of each other, or connected together, depending on your space. Also, the cloth velcros onto the frame, so it can be removed easily for cleaning if need be, without unbolting anything. The combined weight in the box is decent, but once built, each panel is fairly light and easy to move around, while feeling sturdy/not going to fall over unless they're being mistreated. It's a bright sunny afternoon, and I took a picture looking towards a window, so you can see it blocks most things unless directly silhouetted by the bright light on the other side.

Great purchase, easy to put together and maneuver and does the job
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
Easy enough to put together, the nylon curtaining is a bit thin so will either replace or just pin something decorative and thicker to it. Easy to maneuver and does what you need it to do. Right now its leaned against a set of french doors in my room which unfortunately reflect headlight from the street into the room. This has been very useful for blocking that, Also have used it for the intended purpose of privacy other places also. you can also pin the kids pictures to it to show them off, Think outside the box with this nice screen.

Divide and Conquer
Color: Black, Size: 3 Panel Standard
Multi paneled room divider. I selected black, but it does come in a couple other color choices. This divider is solidly made, weighted. This dividers provide a measure of privacy for sleeping quarters, dressing, or to conceal a messy room or things you just don't want openly viewed by others. Portable, but again it's solid so it has some weight to it. No skid bottoms and a really reasonable/affordable price. Delivery was only a couple days.
