19th Century Lifeways Lecture: The Art of the Table

The 19th century is notorious for its exuberance and “more is more” attitude toward the decorative arts and interior design.

Decorative arts specialist Nicholas Nicholson explores the production of outstanding porcelain and ceramic manufacturers, silversmiths, textile designers, etiquette trendsetters, and how to set a sumptuous modern interpretation of a period table — just in time for Thanksgiving.

Reservations required.

19th Century Lifeways is the Museum’s new public program series — in which experts lecture on 19th century American decorative arts, architecture, New York City history, preservation, and related subjects.  The Merchant’s House Museum’s intact 1832 landmark building and original collections provide the springboard for the lectures.
