Passementerie: Down to the Last Detail

The Frick mansion is a feast for the eyes, created to house our incredible art collection but also as an artwork in and of itself. Our ongoing renovation project aims to restore the building’s historic opulence—down to the last detail. In this video, Jenna Nugent, Curatorial Project Manager, introduces the work done on passementerie, the trimmings and other decorative elements that adorn draperies and wall and furniture upholstery.
