The
museum offers visitors the opportunity to explore a wide range
of decorative arts objects ranging from traditional European and
American ceramics and furniture, to an important collection of
contemporary art glass. A magnificent 17th century paneled room
from an English manor house, with its extensive wood carvings
and moralizing mythological subjects, is another favorite among
museum visitors, as is the Speed’s Tapestry Gallery. Other
highlights of the decorative arts collection include stained-glass
windows, Italian majolica, an extensive collection of silver by
English silversmith Matthew Boulton, and an important coffee and
tea service produced at the Sévres porcelain factory.
