Joan Bogart has been in the antiques business since the mid 1970's. She has always specialized in high style 19^thCentruy American Furniture Chandeliers and Accessories.  Joan has appeared and has lectured on the subject for museums and symposiums, been on TV with her collections, and has been written up in articles both in Victorian Homes and Old House Interior's, The New York Times & Newsday, as well as numerous antiques periodicals.

That is why when Martin Sorcesese was creating "The Age of Innocence " she was contacted and furnished the elegant and wealthy grandmother's home. Both her lighting, furniture, and accessories were in this movie. All of these items have been sold but similar items are in inventory. Joan has also rented to "Washington Square", and most recently to Steven Spielberg's "Amistad" . In that movie her lighting was especially important, and when the interior of the "White House" was shown her argand lamps were prominently placed on the mantle, & are currently in inventory as are most of the astral lamps rented to the movie. However, the studio did purchase antiques for a prop warehouse they were opening.

Museums have also bought heavily form Joan over the years, including, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Smithsonian Museum, The High Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, The Strong Museum, The Louisiana State Museum, The Governor's Mansion for the State of Mo. The Treasury Dep't. along with numerous Southern and Mid- Western House Museums.
