Lecture: Mrs. Post's French Furnshishings July 16, 2008

In 18th-century France, decorative arts and furnishings rivaled, in value and importance, fine art of the time. With an impassioned and discerning eye, Marjorie Merriweather Post assembled one of the most important collections of French furniture in the country. Senior curator of western European art Liana Paredes will reveal the superlative nature of these pieces, with a highlight on some objects once associated with Marie Antoinette.
