- Summary
- Active in London, Paris, and New York, Duveen Brothers was the most prominent art and antique dealer from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. The firm's success came from buying European furniture, tapestries, porcelain, and other objets d'art and selling them to wealthy American collectors. Charlotte Vignon provides a rich study of this firm in the history of collecting and the development of the taste for such objects in America.
