Beginning in 1952, she and her husband amassed the finest private collection in America of the decorative arts of the ancien régime, ultimately donating many objects (comprising the Wrightsman Galleries) to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.[2] Jayne Wrightsman also served as a member of the Museum's 100th Anniversary Committee[3] and was elected to the board of trustees in 1975.[2] In December 2012, Magnificent Jewels from the Collection of Mrs. Charles Wrightsman raised $15,541,188 at auction with Sotheby's, New York.[4] See also
