Harwood, Curator of Decorative Arts at the Brooklyn Museum and Adjunct Professor at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum/Parsons School of Design’s master’s program in the History of Decorative Arts. Harwood, along with his husband Joseph V. Garry, formed the collection while decorating their country house, Thornside. A true labor of love, the interiors of their country getaway were decorated  following the tenets of the Aesthetic Moment and were featured in an article in The Magazine Antiques.
