Asian art and culture has long captured the western imagination. Beginning with the China Trade in the late eighteenth century and continuing through the nineteenth-century Victorian fascination, the Quincy family amassed an impressive collection of Asian and Asian-inspired artwork and luxury goods.
Join Historic New England's Senior Curator Nancy Carlisle and Conservator Michaela Neiro for an in-depth look at these objects. Part tour, part lecture, "Asian Art at Quincy House" explores the recently re-installed collection in context and reveals the challenges of working with materials and techniques like lacquer and japanning.
