Book Description
Excerpt from Antique European Furniture, Secular and Church Silver, Ivory and Wood Carvings, Rare Mohammedan Pottery, European Porcelains, Oriental Bronzes: Sold by Order of the Trustees Under these circumstances the only open question was how to dispose of such material to the best interest of the Museum and the public. Several methods of disposal were considered. One was for the Museum to present these objects to other American art museums for which they undoubtedly have value. To have adopted this method, however, would inevitably have involved questions of favoritism or discrimination. Moreover, it would have involved delay and would not have cleared our storerooms promptly and thus given us the storage space which we immediately need. For other museums, to which we would naturally have offered them, would not have accepted them until after examination and determination of their usefulness, based upon the present development of each.
