Abstract:

A study by the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina examined the furniture trade between America and Jamaica during the eighteenth century. The movement of cabinetmakers such as John Fisher, coupled with the exportation of Windsor chairs to Jamaica from the eastern seaboard, reveals not only the trade of goods, but also the influence of skills, style, and culture.
