Beyond Blue and White with Genevieve Wheeler Brown

When over 75 pieces of rare 17th and 18th century Delftware were rediscovered in a historic Manhattan townhouse, decorative art advisor Genevieve Wheeler Brown recognized they revealed a story never fully told. Thus began a sweeping exploration of the remarkable women at Delftware’s center: female factory founders, royal patrons like Queen Mary II, and 19th century collectors including Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt II. A former Christie’s specialist and past participant on Antiques Roadshow, Wheeler Brown will bring these dazzling cobalt-glazed vessels to life, revealing how each one is a window into centuries of female ingenuity, ambition, and creative expression.
