Yannick Chastang is a former FHS Council member and leading specialist in French furniture and marquetry. His workshop restores and conserves furniture, marquetry, gilding and lacquer from public and private collections across the globe. This will be a special opportunity to look, together with curators from the National Trust, specifically at Boulle pieces currently undergoing conservation – in particular comparing the Knole clock and pedestal with the two Boulle coffers and stands from Boughton House in Northamptonshire.
