Philip D Zimmerman, Author, Museum and Decorative Arts Consultant
An interest in early American furniture--has been constant throughout my career. My book on the furniture and other collections of two important houses (1771 and 1774) owned by the Historic Odessa Foundation in Odessa, Delaware. Each house retains many original furnishings and was actively preserved at a very early date. The resulting connections between objects and interpretive possibilities are extraordinary and have already spawned several smaller publications. Other furniture topics, notably the work of William Savery of Philadelphia, occupy my time and energy.
Afternoon tea will be served after the lecture.
