Article is new, sourced throughout, and long enough. It appears neutrally written and a QPQ review is done. I am concerned about that hook. Specifically, "most of the leading museums and private collectors". I see that the NY Times article says "virtually every major museum in the country", but that reads as an embellishment and may well be challenged before it's posted, if I weren't to guide you to writing a new hook. –

Hi
Muboshgu, thanks for the feedback. Would simply saying "many of the leading museums and private collectors" address potential concerns? The NYT article does come across as hyperbolic, but for top museums and collectors that specifically collect American antiques, it may well be true.

I think it might be more impactful to list out some of the museums, especially the widely known ones. Certainly many people, even outside of the U.S., have heard of the White House. –
