Abstract:

Evidence found in research files at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina reveals the diverse material culture and impact of cabinetmaking in Columbia and Richland County, Virginia from 1800 to 1860. Columbia’s political and geographic location made it a transition zone for people, goods, and cultures traveling between the Low country to the Piedmont regions.

Abstract:

Rosewell was the eighteenth century mansion of the Page family in Virginia, but only its ruins remain today. Continuing studies provide insight into the ceremonial and ritualistic workings of Rosewell. Although specific knowledge about Rosewell’s interior is scant, conclusions can be made about the family and their perceptions of themselves through the house’s overall design and furnishings.
