Restoring Mrs. Frick's Boudoir

Finalement, la révolution française permet d’avoir les merveilles de Versailles partout dans le monde !

The Frick is a treasure. I’m amazed more people don’t know about it.

Beautiful to bring memories from the past, in modern times. Taking care of all details and bringing back the porcelain is like giving more character to the museum. Which by the way, owns beautiful master works porcelains and exquisite carpets.

Fabulous darling! Love it❤❤❤

I miss “Cocktails With The Curator” with Xavier.

Please tell me what cocktail would suit this exquisite space. My, how I have missed you!

You guys need to hurry up with this restoration…we don’t got all day

🥰🥰

I may not be able to make it to New York City to see the Frick Collection there, but I will plan a trip to Pittsburgh to see the Frick Mansion once again. The Fricks have come alive again through the efforts of the curators, its wonderful to meet them and get to know them as real people and not just as characters in history books.

going to be stunning

There is no mention of Elsie DeWolfe (Lady Mendl) - is she out of favor now?

My favourite museum , I am a big Baroque fan so when I discovered the Frick's collection , I was speechless.

So the original “museum” feeling on the first floor will be lost

The Johnstown flood killed over TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE in Johnstown, Pennsylvania so that the Fricks could save money not repairing the dam creating the pretty lake near their exclusive hunting lodge - then they could buy art with their money instead! and decorate up the Boucher Room! Tainted wealth.

How exciting! 🤗

The Frick is always a pleasure to visit. It's a small oasis in in New York's investment real estate desert.

Wouldn't mind him painting my boudoir!

A huge undertaking- 🟧♾️🟧

Somehow knowing the Frick saga of grotesque treatment of the steel mill workers, this luxurious home is sickening.

It’s going to be sublime!

I hope Mr. Xavier Salomon will visit us here in Italy soon. Because of his instructive video presentations, whenever I stop at the San Sebastiano Church in the sestiere of Dorsoduro in Venice, my thoughts go to him. Also, visiting San Pantalon, in the same sestiere, does so as well.

If you haven't, you should REALLY go to the Frick, 71st and 5th.

Xavier, and the Frick videos got me through the worst of Covid, day by day, as I home schooled our then 1st grader...this is thrilling and I will be back to NYC to see this once it is completed. Will probably shed a few tears, just at what the Frick has come to mean to me the last several years. Thank you to all at the Frick, you really did save sanity for me.

Thank you for sharing this , how splendid it’s going to look . It brought back lovely memories of your wonderful talks during that strange time we all lived through .

We’ve been in that museum, quite beautiful.

lovely. I just hate that the video is 2 minutes.

Beautiful work. This man had such grate taste! Luckily no wall and ceiling paintings from Amsterdam had been used. A lot of them are scattered all over the world, which makes me sad because they belong in the original canal houses. I hope they come back to Amsterdam in time.

Great to have an update on the work being completed at the Frick. Looking good!

Good for you! It took a bit of gall for those who just blew apart her gorgeous room for an office. Glad you're putting things to rights.

Xavier is adorable…just thought I’d point that out if you missed it.

Thank you so much ...Beautiful...
😍💖👌🌐💖

It is incredible to see all that must be done to restore the room to its original location. Thank you for the update.

Delightful to get some updates on the reconstruction of the house! 🎉🎉🎉 May we please see more?? Plus updates on the addition??

Have not heard him speak since the end of his pandemic presentations; Felix's voice is forever going to be on my "Covid Madeleine" list.

I always thought it was a bit of a shame to use the upstairs for offices. I am very pleased that it is now opening. I will go back as soon as they are done. A trip to NYC is always a good time.

wonderful

FABULOUS 👌 to also see the old caring master crews doing the job they love.

It's going to be beautiful!!

Beautiful ~

Thanks for showing us!
