Mrs. Wrightsman’s collecting interests were vast, but she is best known for the installation of the Wrightsman Rooms in the Metropolitan Museum of Art which showcase the quality of her French decorative arts collection. A distinguished collector, she donated Marie Antoinette’s dressing table to Versailles in 2009 and was honored with Legion d’Honneur in 2013 for her contributions to French Culture.
