This publication is an expanded catalog for the exhibition, Wood and Water: Furniture on Long Island, 1660-1860. Over centuries, furniture has connected Long Islanders to each other and the world beyond their shores. Featuring in-depth scholarship and extended labels for objects ranging from high-style chests to everyday seating furniture, the catalog explores a rich cross-section of Long Island society before the Civil War. Discover the work of the region’s many unsung craftspeople: Quaker joiners, Black makers, women upholsterers, Dutch turners, and Indigenous weavers. From the workshop to the home, these objects reveal networks of exchange, identity, and innovation during a time of profound change.
