Welcome
Anne Haworth
I am an independent scholar and historian with extensive experience as a lecturer in art history and as a guide for museum tours. I was formerly a senior ceramics specialist at the head office of Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers in London and have lived in Shanghai, China.
​
After more than two decades working within some of the world’s greatest museums and most prestigious collections of art, I feel honoured and privileged to have met thousands of people from many different countries.
​
I offer a range of lectures, study days, courses and museum tours and can be booked as a speaker if you follow this link.

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope that you will find much to interest and inspire you.

The Luxury Arts of Paris: Luminous Splendour for a Thousand Years

Paris, the fabled 'City of Light' has long been synonymous with the luxury arts. For centuries, dazzling jewels, precious objets de vertu, exquisite furnishings and elegant bespoke couture have been crafted in the city’s myriad workshops, delighting the eye of the most discerning and esteemed patrons. The three lectures follow the story of the luxury arts of Paris over a thousand years of luminous splendour from the Medieval period to the 20th Century.​
