Research Fellow Isabella Hogan shares her ongoing work studying furniture crafted by A.H. Davenport & Company — a renowned Boston firm that created custom pieces for the Vanderbilt family.
Her research examines the furniture’s design, materials, and finishes to better understand how these objects were made and how best to preserve them for future generations.
A rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and care behind Newport’s Gilded Age treasures. ✨
