Jayne and Charles Wrightsman, who, in a relatively short period of time,
beginning in 1952- amassed the finest private collection in America of
the decorative arts of the Ancien Regime. Throughout the years the
Wrightsman's active interest in the Department of European Sculpture and
Decorative Arts has resulted in splendid gifts that have enabled the Museum
to create an unparalleled and truly encyclopeadic collection of French
18th Century interiors and furnishings. The volumes include: Furniture,
Gilt Bronzes, Carpets, Porcelain, Snuff Boxes, Silver, Paintings, Drawings,
and Sculpture. Considered to be the bible of French Furniture and
the Decorative Arts.
