March features Adam Erby\, Curator at Mount Vernon. \nInterpreting the Evidence: Recreating George and Martha Washington’s Front Parlor Utilizing Account Books\, Inventories\, and Fragmentary Objects \nIn September 2013\, Mount Vernon curators made an exciting discovery; a previously unknown ledger kept by George Washington’s friend and neighbor\, George William Fairfax\, appeared at auction. At first glance\, the ledger seemed to have little to do with Mount Vernon\, but as curators mined the document they discovered that much of the London-made furniture listed in the ledger came to Mount Vernon\, either by purchase or gift\, when its original owner returned to England at the outbreak of the American Revolution. \nAdam Erby’s lecture will trace the fascinating tale of these furnishings from the London warerooms of William Gomm and Son to the grand\, but now lost\, Virginia plantation of George William Fairfax and his wife Sally\, and finally to the principal rooms at Mount Vernon. The talk will demonstrate that as these furnishings moved from place to place through retail purchase\, auction and gift\, they served as a powerful means of establishing Fairfax\, and later Washington\, as a sophisticated grandee on the edges of empire.The lecture will focus on the most important find from the ledger\, the rediscovery of the furnishings of Mount Vernon’s front parlor. \n URL:http://www.wiltonhousemuseum.org/event/interpreting-the-evidence-recreating-george-and-martha-washingtons-front-parlor/ LOCATION:Wilton House Museum\, 215 South Wilton Road\, Richmond\, VA\, 23226\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://www.wiltonhousemuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/Erby_Event.png ORGANIZER;CN="Wilton%20House%20Museum":MAILTO:kwatkins@wiltonhousemuseum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC-4:20200409T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC-4:20200409T190000 DTSTAMP:20191014T061244 CREATED:20190724T162553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190724T162553Z UID:3852-1586455200-1586458800@www.wiltonhousemuseum.org SUMMARY:Of the Highest Finish: Silver in the White House Collection DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual lecture series.
