Yale art curator to discuss Rhode Island furniture at Rokeby

Kane will take visitors on a tour of the Rhode Island furniture in Rokeby’s own collection, setting it into the larger context of Rhode Island furniture production.

Thomas and Jemima Robinson emigrated to Vermont from Newport, Rhode Island in 1792 and made their home at what is today Rokeby Museum. Among the pieces they brought with them are a bannister back chair, a chest on chest, pipe box, and looking glass. Thomas Robinson’s Quaker family lived near the Goddard-Townsend shop, where Thomas may have nurtured his own love of working wood.
Kane directs a long-term study of Rhode Island furniture at the Yale Art Gallery. She will construct a comprehensive history of the furniture trade throughout Rhode Island and present the results in a web site, interpretive publication, and web site.
