- When looking at a piece of antique furniture, ever wonder what style it is? Using furniture from the DAR Museum collection, will discuss styles over time. Ranging from exaggerated proportions of the 1600s to classicism of the 1810s, this lecture will show how furniture styles changed based on the latest decorative fashions. We will also consider the role technology played on influencing design and how interest in America’s past informed popular revivals of the early 20th century.

Thank you. I now have a start on how to ID some chairs I acquired lately.
i was listening to this like a podcast and thought the whole time the speaker was female. finally watched the video and was surprised.
wow
Expertise knows no gender. :)
Are the slide shows published somewhere? I would love to follow along
The speaker is in a tiny box on the lower right. But I can't enlarge it and only the title page is large. I'd love to see what he's talking about but it's too small! Needs fixing.
Thank you for your comment. This was a live presentation that we recorded so that it could be made available to a wider audience. The recording software glitched and offset the recording of the slides by a bit. As it was a live performance, there is no way to go back and fix it, since what you see is what the recording software caught. We have since fixed the software glitch and future presentations should not have this problem.
I have three antique chairs I think they're probably from 19 50 something with the webbing on the side and may light the webinars which circles I'm going to take some pictures and send it cuz I want to know what to do with them how to reupholster them I also have a bunny rabbit that's all musical and I wanted to see what was it worth it's a
Thank you. You have a very engaging style of speaking.
Sunflowers, it's called a Connecticut sunflower chest!
Thanks for the effort. Films like that I find very interesting and I learned something new.
Unfortunately the picture-in-picture feature was obscuring a lot of relevant detail and thus it was quite annoying and defeating the purpose of the video. The framing of most furniture was also in a way that the feet or other elements were out of frame. Surely this was avoidable. Details referred to in the commentary were completely invisible (like the rosewood plywood) or out of frame.
I hope you can remedy those unfortunate, but serious flaws with a new edit of the material.
I think it is well worth the effort to do so because the commentary and research were all flawless.
I hope i am not to harsh.
Good 👍❤️
