Furniture Inside Out: The Townsend Desk

In the next edition of our virtual Furniture Inside Out series, join us as we explore a special 18th-century mahogany desk in the Whitehorne House Museum collection. Furniture maker and researcher Jeffrey Greene will show us what makes the piece a “typical” Newport desk and what features make it unique—as well as what the desk can tell us about its makers and original owners.

This special virtual experience will premiere at 6:30 pm EST on Tuesday, February 9 on our YouTube channel. No registration or payment necessary. This video program will be available for viewing on YouTube after its completion.
