Second the Met recommendation. They have a ton of furniture from all
periods and styles. One of my favorite all time pieces is there. I
called the Met and the curator was very helpful - sent me all sorts of
information on the piece, pictures, articles and all.

Lobby was closed, but I could see marquetry on the doors that looked
nice. MoMA was an absolute madhouse so I didn't go in this trip. Not
much ww'ing was seen other than the furniture in Crate & Barrel.

Kinda neat to see once, but it's not the kind of thing I could live in
or around. Too busy/gaudy, ie. Art Deco.

If you're into marquetry, try the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art). I wish
I could remember the details (and the Met's web site is useless), but
there's an entire room done in marquetry, brought over from Europe
somewhere.
