Oak Sitting Room Restoration | Biltmore Preservation Stories

Restoring the Oak Sitting Room in Biltmore House is an extensive project that has taken our Museum Services team nearly 15 years to complete.
Biltmore Associate Curator, Lori Garst, discusses the steps taken to restore objects of art, furnishings, and textiles to their original grandeur and locations according to archival photos and letters. This large-scale restoration project also provides an opportunity to help Biltmore's guests better understand the day-to-day lives of the Vanderbilts.

Our Preservation Mission: With an emphasis on preservation, it’s no surprise that Biltmore prides itself on having an in-house conservation department. Preservation at Biltmore covers much more than major restoration projects-although those are significant investments. Biltmore’s preservation efforts also span the daily needs of maintaining a 250-room historic building, a winery, and 8,000 acres of gardens, managed farmland, and forest to continue to deliver authenticity and gracious Vanderbilt-inspired hospitality to our guests.
