Abstract:

Researchers at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina conducted a study of the work attributable to the anonymous artisan identified as Humphrey Sommers’ carver. Sommers’ high social status in late colonial Charleston, South Carolina is evident in the Rococo interior architecture and stylistic work of his personal estates.
