Inspired by a Chinese desk owned by Wyck resident Ann Haines (1793-1869), join us for a conversation about Wyck’s global stories on a special tour focusing on Asian export objects and plants from the 18th-20th century in the historic house and garden collection. This specialty tour is based on research funded by a Decorative Arts Trust Failey Grant in 2025 and will also discuss new conservation processes performed on Wyck’s unique Chinese desk.
