John Hardy, a founder member of the Furniture History Society, was a Furniture Consultant at Christie’s London.  Before joining the auction house in the late 1980s, he spent almost thirty years as a curator in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s Department of Furniture, where he specialised in the study of English eighteenth-century furniture and decoration.  His collection is eclectic from the remains of the Hatfield State Bed to ‘Shakespeare’s table’.
