Inspiration
The Colonial Williamsburg furniture collection encompasses a broad range of goods produced in Great Britain and America from the mid-17th century through the 1830s. This evolving collection was assembled over many decades with an eye toward furnishing dozens of historic structures in the restored town of Williamsburg. It consequently includes not only high-style works produced for the wealthy, but simple forms used in kitchens and workshops. This broad cross-section of the cabinet trade is one of the collection's most important aspects.
The armchair that inspired our Albemarle collection was made between 1790 and 1815 and is attributed to the Monticello Joinery (Object #1994-107). Read the fascinating details about the history of the Monticello Joinery in the Colonial Williamsburg Digital Museum.
