Hickory Chair HC6471-10 Winterthur Estate Evalina Writing Table

Product Description: Hickory Chair HC6471-10 Evalina Writing Table - In the late eighteenth century, a continued fascination with classical antiquity provided the impetus for the development of neoclassicism. Straight lines and delicate ornament, including inlaid decoration became the norm. An exquisite card table found in the 5th floor Montmorenci Stair Hall is the inspiration for the Evalina Writing Desk and Bedside Table. The antique table, characteristic of the work of Boston father and son cabinetmakers John and Thomas Seymour, exhibits the same canted and ovolo corners on the top and tapered legs with baluster and spool turnings as the form designed by Hickory Chair Company's artists.

Collection Features: From the library and antiques found in the Winterthur Museum, this collection pays homage to great American design. H. F. du Pont's vision of assembling the greatest examples of American furnishings into authentic room settings lives on in Hickory Chair's reproductions and adaptations. Combined in groupings or used individually, many of these timeless forms may be personalized through a wide range of finish options.
