Lea Kellogg Barfield
After completing the Fine and Decorative Arts graduate program at the Christie's School in London, Ms. Barfield originated several lecture series seminars in Dallas to study the evolution of the European Decorative Arts and the history of antique furnishings. Based upon the Christie's model, these seminars featured lecturers from Christie's as well as the Wallace Collection, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the National Gallery of Art. In conjunction with the lecture series, Ms. Barfield sponsored educational trips to Virginia, Washington and England to study the influence of the Great Houses of Europe on American decorative style. Utilizing the knowledge she gained from both living and studying abroad, Ms. Barfield has been taking individual clients on private buying trips to England and the European continent for over thirty years.
