It was Jonathan O’Hea, an art and antiques dealer in New Jersey, who first noticed that Sotheby’s was selling a table containing potentially hazardous materials. Thanks to his familiarity with older materials—he has a bachelors degree in historic preservation—it was the word “fibrated” that set off alarm bells.
