Bill and Jeanne Knoop married in 1946 and started collecting in 1948. They were avid and eclectic collectors, their passions and focus changing over the years, encompassing at various times Pilgrim furniture, early lighting, inlaid boxes, treen, ivory miniatures, needleworks, nautical and whaling artifacts from New England. Their earliest collection, however, was of Egyptian artefacts, an area of interest which was sparked by a visit in the late 1940s to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
