Thomas Marks, editor of Apollo will chair a discussion with Alexandra Gent, paintings conservator at The Wallace Collection and Christophe de Quénetain, TEFAF Antiques exhibitor and historian. The topic for discussion is restoration and conservation. Last year, the Wallace Collection received a grant from the TEFAF Restoration Fund to conserve the lively and engaging portrait Miss Nelly O’Brien (c. 1762) by Joshua Reynolds PRA FRS FRSA (1723–92).
Coffee, tea and pastries will be served in the newly restored Great Gallery at 8.00am (GMT). This is first time the gallery has been used for such a purpose.
The talk will start at 8.45 and finish at approximately 9.15 am.
Following the talk, there will be a further opportunity to see the newly
restored Great Gallery. Guests that wish to can stay to view Miss Nelly
O’Brien and discuss the painting with Alexandra before the Wallace
Collection opens to the public at 10.00am.
The TEFAF Talk must be booked in advance but is free to all Apollo subscribers. To book please events@apollomag.com.
