The American Wing is very interesting, historically and artistically.
Here is the opulent sitting room of a well to do New Yorker's home of the mid nineteenth century. Note the lovely tete a tete
And here a rosewood, pine and mother of pearl cabinet made in 1884-5 which could be said to be in the style of the aesthetic movement
I would love to have a walk in wardrobe Sara Berman's closet
There are many examples of American Arts and Crafts works.
Below is a late nineteenth century Lockwood de Forest, stool which links east and west with it's influences from Kashmir
Here is some furniture from the wonderful Frank Lloyd Wright
