David H. Wilson (1949-2011) was one of this
country's leading connoisseurs in 17th and 18th century British furniture. He served as a consultant, appraiser and
restorer for Sotheby’s and Christies, as well as leading dealers and
collectors in New York, London, and throughout the United States. Mr.
Wilson was also instrumental in vetting many major collections for
authenticity. After a long and valiant battle with cancer Mr.
Wilson died in February 2011. M. Ford Creech
Antiques, whose furniture acquisitions Mr. Wilson has directed since January
2009, is offering for sale part of his
furniture collection, each piece being chosen for a very unique and
captivating quality - and each "exactly right". Mr. Wilson never chose
to impress - more to delight his own impeccable eye, his sense of grace,
history -
and humor.
