    • William Sturgis Bigelow frequently served as an intermediary between Isabella Stewart Gardner and Bunkio Matsuki. Whenever he could not afford a certain item that the dealer sent his way, Bigelow would pass it on to her. In March of 1902, for instance, Bigelow wrote to Gardner, asking her if she would like to purchase nine pieces of bronze artifacts at a discounted price of $45,000. He informed her that famed European dealer Samuel Bing (1838-1905) charged $70,000 for a single bronze object from the same era
