"Exploring the Rich Heritage of Applied Arts in America: A Glimpse into Time" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the exquisite craftsmanship of American applied arts. From paperweights to weaponry, this collection showcases the diverse range of creativity that emerged from the United States during different eras. One such artifact is a captivating paperweight dating back to c. 1846-55. Its intricate design and unknown creator leave us marveling at their skillful artistry. Similarly, another mesmerizing paperweight from c. 1880 captures our attention with its delicate beauty, once again reminding us of the anonymous hands behind its creation. Moving on to military artifacts, we encounter a cavalry officer's saber with scabbard from around 1860/65. The mystery surrounding its maker adds an air of intrigue as we imagine it being wielded by brave soldiers during turbulent times. Intriguingly disguised as a walking stick, a breech-loading rim-fire rifle hailing from New York in 1858 demonstrates how functionality can be seamlessly blended with aesthetics. Transitioning to interior spaces frozen in time, we step into meticulously recreated rooms that transport us to various periods throughout history. The Maryland Dining Room (1770-74) exudes elegance and refinement while reflecting the essence of early American culture. The Pennsylvania Drawing Room (1761) captivates with its opulent furnishings and serves as a testament to the grandeur enjoyed by wealthy families during this era. A glimpse into Shaker living reveals simplicity combined with practicality through their carefully crafted furniture showcased within the Shaker Living Room (c. 1800). Narcissa Niblack Thorne's artistic genius shines through her creation - Pennsylvania Kitchen (1752). This miniature masterpiece allows us to appreciate both her talent and historical accuracy. Delving further into history brings us face-to-face with yet another stunning drawing room - this time from 1834-36.
