Photos from Charles Hummel's Visit

One page of the many Dominy shop records, now in the ownership of Winterthur Museum and Garden, Winterthur, DE.


Patterns used for table legs, and turned pieces.

Bedsteads made by the Dominys.

The best sort of scholarship: written records to go along with objects!

A carving tool with decorative scroll work on the blade.

  3. I was out there this past summer, and the Brandywine region is such delight for the eyes. I found the two barns on the DuPont property, along with the creamery.
