Vargueno Conservation: A Biltmore Project
Collaboration Between the Curator and Furniture Conservator
A Susan and Biltmore story about one of the small projects I worked on. In the Tapestry Gallery at Biltmore House, on the end closest to the Entrance Hall, is a 17th century Spanish vargueno. These fancy, portable writing cabinets were used by nobility to store and travel with their important documents and as writing desks.
