Room Tour at Winterthur, Part Two Video

Bob's Winterthur tour continues. After a brief stop to admire some fine cabinetry work attributed to the Dunlap family of New Hampshire, Vila and Eversmann tour one of Winterthur's most ornate room. The high-style architecture of the Blackwell Parlor features elaborate pediments above the doors and a fireplace mantel with intricately carved friezes that evoke Philadelphia Rococo style. The work is among the most highly regarded examples of craftsmanship of the mid-18th century. The room's furniture with its hairy paw feet and elaborate carving, attributed to Philadelphia's General John Cadwalader, represents the most sophisticated and high-style furnishings of the era.
