What a wealth of riches

In the October 21, 2016 issue of The New York Times, Eve M. Kahn writes about a number of recent research projects on the construction of 18th century European furniture (“Picking Apart 18th-Century Furniture to Detect Forgeries”)—one in Paris on a desk by Andre-Charles Boulle, one at the Frick Collection on the gilded metalwork of Pierre Gouthiere, one for a Bard Graduate Center exhibit of the furniture of Charles Percier, and one in England on furniture by Jean-Henri Riesener. What a wealth of riches for furniture conservators!
