Flora Vesterberg on The Wallace Collection

"@floravesterberg, an art historian and broadcaster, visits the inspiring @thewallacecollection to learn about two compelling examples of bejewelled Asian arms and armour. She meets Arthur Bijl, the Hutton McRoberts Assistant Curator of Ottoman, Middle Eastern and Asian Arms and Armour to discuss the two works of art and their significance within a wider collection that includes Sèvres porcelain as well as Venetian paintings by Canaletto and Rococo masterpieces.

As @asianartinlondon looks forward to its Summer Event, 28 June to 1 July, it has commissioned Flora to explore the Asian art exhibited in London, in a series of thought-provoking videos. This second episode focuses on The Wallace Collection.
