We spent a fabulous afternoon at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art; and without a doubt, the Made in Pennsylvania gallery stole my heart. No one knows who made the painted wood candle box from Bucks County, c. 1845; the wooden, 19th century Chippendale Bible Box; or the 19th century hammered steel spoon, fork, and spatula — and doesn’t that just add to the allure? This newly renovated museum’s impressive collection provides a unique glimpse of American life with a regional focus. Today, we visited this gem for the first time and formed a friendship for a lifetime!
@milaniet Thank you, Milanie! These were some of my favorites pieces. We were so impressed with the Museum. They had a study room full of books relating to the artwork, and I could have camped out there for days. :-)
Truly, these are treasures of days long ago! I love items like these, always give a glimpse into a different way of life. Sounds like a wonderful trip. Nice shot.
These are such beautiful pieces, and I like the way you've composed them into a lovely capture. I have to fav this. Thanks so much for the follow--I'm delighted to follow you back, and I look forward to seeing your work.
