Barbara Frelinghuysen Israel speaks on Antique Garden Ornament
Barbara Israel, founder of Barbara Israel Garden Antiques, is a recognized authority on the subject. Her exhaustively researched book, Antique Garden Ornament: Two Centuries of American Taste (1999) is the definitive work in the field. Barbara has served as a consultant to both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution for their collections of 19th Century cast iron and has sold pieces to Winterthur Museum, the Smithsonian Institution and the Baltimore Museum of Art. As an active board member of the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy, she is devoted to preserving historic gardens and, of course, their antique garden ornament.
A book signing and light refreshments will follow the program.
