Thursday, February 24 at 1:00 for a glimpse of the American past and a visit to New York's Americana week, 2022, with Marilyn Fish of Legacy Art and Estate Services.
Despite what you may have heard, American Colonial furniture is much more than a collection of brown cupboards and spindly chairs! It is a treasured body of material that provides important insight into our heritage. By examining each piece, we can follow not only the evolution of forms but also immigration patterns, demographic trends, growth of the economy, foreign and domestic influences, and changing needs and tastes. Private and institutional collectors continue to vie for the best examples as we have seen in recent auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's.
