A wall of chairs dating from the 1750s to the 1850s illustrates both regional and chronological developments in New England and the Mid-Atlantic.

-
Textiles were one of Henry Francis du Pont's first loves. From quilts to gowns, needlework pictures to bedcovers, Winterthur has some of the finest works of textile art made or used in America. The gallery opens with 'Fashions and Furnishings,' featuring 18th century gowns, bed hangings and slip covers; all were expensive textiles that identified a person's taste, cultural background and wealth. Displays of quilted, woven and printed textiles culminate in 'Needlework: Plain and Fancy,' which highlights embroidery, lacework and samplers. Because of the light-sensitive nature of these objects, textile displays change regularly, making repeat visits a must.
