Focusing on the specialised skills of expert furniture craftspeople, this selection of Otago Museum pieces reveals a history of luxury materials, changing styles of interior decoration, beauty, ostentation and elegance.

Finely Furnished showcases pieces from the collection which highlight major trends in European furniture design and decoration over the previous century. From veneering to carving, gilding to wood turning, inlaying and lacquer work known as Japanning, these pieces represent a time when furniture pieces were individually made from hand.
