Abstract:

This article examines the development of regional furniture styles in the Catawaba Valley of the North Carolina Piedmont through an anonymous group of furniture called the 'fluted pilaster group.' The Catawaba Valley style of furniture is heavily influenced by Delaware Valley settlers who moved to Catawaba Valley during the last half of the 18th century.

Abstract:

William Buckland is known for his architectural carving work in Richmond County, Virginia, but evidence of his work in Maryland has been questioned. Researchers at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina reassessed Buckland’s career from 1771-1774 through a comparative study of six houses, two documented and four previously attributed to his shop.

Abstract:

Furniture made by the Crow group exhibits a diversity of style and construction not often encountered in the production of a single rural shop. The furniture’s craftsmanship is likely influenced by shifts in technology and styles transmitted from the Piedmont and Tidewater regions of northeastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia during the late eighteenth century.
