By 1951 Henry Francis du Pont had transformed his home into Winterthur Museum. At the same time, he began to build a world-class library, one that today contains more than 500,000 resources related to the decorative arts. Carefully preserved in that collection are photographs, drawings, and prints from Byrdcliffe, an early twentieth-century arts community near Woodstock, New York. Among the ephemera in the Byrdcliffe archive is an original drawing for the poppy motif on a hanging cabinet that was acquired by Winterthur in 2000. The cabinet was made at Byrdcliffe by Zulma Steele, about 1904. Hickory Chair designers were inspired by the hanging cabinet in the creation of this clean-line contemporary cabinet. The Poppy is designed for personalization. The Poppy Base is available as a console with a choice of wood or stone top. In addition, the Poppy Base is also available with a functional Deck.
