Keynote Lecture - Delaware Antiques Show

Barbara Frelinghuysen Israel will present the keynote lecture, Uprooted Elegance: The Surprising Journey of American Garden Ornament. She founded Barbara Israel Garden Antiques in 1985. Nearly 40 years and hundreds of exquisite objects later, she is recognized as an authority on the subject and her book Antique Garden Ornament: Two Centuries of American Taste is the definitive work in the field. She has served as a consultant to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution for their collections of 19th-century cast iron. Barbara Israel Garden Antiques has been featured in The New York Times, House & Garden, Martha Stewart Living, and Flower magazine, among others. Israel is also one of the dealers at the show.
