We are looking forward to our annual symposium this Saturday! Our theme this year is pietre dure. The art of pietre dure, involves the cutting and inlay of various hardstones. Notice the pietre dure panels of birds and flowers in the image above, which depicts The John Evelyn Cabinet (Florence, c. 1644-1646, © Victoria and Albert Museum). #furniturehistorysociety #furniturehistory #decorativearts #artsofflorence #victoriaandalbertmuseum #v&a #pietredure #hardstone #collectorscabinet #grandducalworkshopsflorence

SHELL SHOCK: My favourite #lategram detail from the extra sumptuous 18thC pietre dure collection in the former drawing room of Empress Maria Theresa and her husband Franz Stephan’s private apartments in the Hofburg. Today the room is part of the Office of the Austrian Federal President (Präsidentschaftskanzlei) and therefore usually not accessible to the public. @furniturehistorysociety #furniturehistorysociety #art #decorativeart #pietradura #pietredure #mosaicart #stonework #shellmosaic #coral #semipreciousstones #hofburg #präsidentschaftskanzlei #corals #coralart #shells #shellart

Our next #curatorschoice post come from Wilhelmina (Ine) Castelijns Van Beek (@inecastelijns), Curatorial Intern in Decorative Arts @RoyalCollectionTrust. Thank you Ine, for your interesting submission! Image: Entrance Hall Carvings @polesdenlacey “Since the electrical cabling, plumbing and heating of Buckingham Palace have not been updated since the 1950s, the Palace needs some essential renovations, leading to our current reservicing project. This project provides the perfect time for us to look into the architectural and decorative history of the Palace, which is how we came across White Allom & Co. The firm acted as a decorator and supplier of furniture and fittings for King George V and Queen Mary – think throne chairs to wall lights. They were also involved in the decoration of other grand interiors at the time, such as at the The Frick Collection, New York and at Polesden Lacey, Dorking, where the Duke and Duchess of York spent their honeymoon in 1923. White Allom & Co supplied the panelling in this photograph, taken from a Wren church, for the Entrance Hall at Polesden Lacey.” - @inecastelijns #furniturehistory #furniturehistorysociety #fhs #polesdenlacey #frickcollection #whiteallom #GeorgeV #QueenMary #RoyalCollectionTrust #Royalfurniture #royalinteriors #interiordecoration #historicinteriors #buckinghampalace #buckinghampalaceinteriors #NewYorkInteriors #historicplaces @royalcollectiontrust @nationaltrust
