Label TextMiriam Stark’s home was filled with fine objects from around the world. She had a special fondness, however, for French decorative arts. Famed French manufacturers like Sèvres, Baccarat, and Lalique created the dinner plate, paper weight, and fish seal on display. These objects likely adorned Miriam’s dinner table or the many desks in The W.H. Stark House.
