Metropolitan Museum Matthias Locke Table

Our research lab, The Building History Project, is assisting a conservator at the Metropolitan Museum, New York in the research and analysis of this table from the English Collections. We are studying the joinery and tectonics of the table and working to understand its craftsmanship and production context in 18th Century England.
