On exhibit, June 7 - October 11
ARCH is pleased to announce the opening of the summer exhibit at the Wentworth House, Please Be Seated: Chairs of Old New England, featuring chairs made and used in eastern New England from the late 17th to early 19th centuries.
The exhibit includes an array of elegant and unusual chairs from the Pilgrim era through the early years of the Republic, including several fine examples of chairs produced in the Piscataqua region. The chairs are drawn primarily from private collections, with many rarely or never before publicly exhibited.
