The brilliant color, fanciful form, exuberant pattern and inventive inlay of southeastern Pennsylvania furniture owe their very existence to the tolerance and religious freedom introduced to America shores by William Penn when he arrived from England in 1682. Penn embrace of the tenets of Quakerism put down long roots and attracted settlers of a previously unseen degree of cultural diversity. Each immigrant group brought with it distinctive traditions and techniques, which its members were free to practice in Penn Woods. The furniture and highly decorative utilitarian items created by those individual immigrant groups in southeastern Pennsylvania are the subject of the new exhibit, ⁐aint, Pattern and People: Furniture of Southeastern Pennsylvania 1725-1850†on view at Winterthur through January 8, 2012.
