Fresh artwork on display at National Trust's Cliveden House in Berkshire

After years of work a replica of the Minton Medusa is now on display in the entrance hall at Cliveden House

Restored artwork has gone on display at a 19th Century National Trust house.

Cliveden House in Berkshire has reintroduced a portrait of Nancy Astor by renowned artist John Singer Sargent after conservation work.

It has also added a replica of The Minton Medusa, once an artistic centrepiece of Cliveden's tiled floor entrance.

Thirty minute guided tours to see the works are available until 31 October.

Cliveden is now a hotel but National Trust tours take place every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday between 11:00GMT and 12:30.

The conservation project, funded by the Royal Oak Foundation, took more than 450 hours

Nancy Astor was an influential socialite and the first woman to take her seat as an MP in the House of Commons.

Conservation was for the frame and to fix some flaking paint and discoloured varnish.

Conservator Anna Vesaluoma said: "The wonderful thing about our work as conservators is that through spending hundreds of hours with such remarkable artworks, we get closer to understanding the artists and their methods.

"Sargent's technical skills never ceased to impress me."The project, funded by the Royal Oak Foundation, took more than 450 hours.

After years of work a replica of the Minton Medusa is now also on display in the entrance hall.

The original 19th century tile floor was removed by Nancy Astor in the early 20th century
