Description

When William Reese built his family’s grand home in the 1830s, American style leaned heavily on the classical world. The home we know today as the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio (Reese-Peters House) reflected classical style, as did the furnishings that decorated the home. From columns and paw feet to veneered and inlaid decoration, discover how the furniture of early 19th-century America was elegant, sophisticated, and above all, classical.
