At the time the Warner House was built about 1716-18, wealthy consumers in colonial America could choose from an impressive array of household goods in the latest style, both imported and made by local artisans in Portsmouth, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia.  In his talk, Gerry Ward will examine the characteristics of this international style and discuss some of the silver and furniture masterpieces available in Portsmouth.  Cumulatively, these works of art represent the transition, as it is often stated, from Puritan to Yankee as the 18th-century progressed and as the magnificent Warner House foreshadowed. 

All talks will start at noon with soup available at 11:30.  Tickets are $10 each for non-members, or Warner House members are FREE. Join today to come for free! To purchase a ticket as a non-member, visit our PayPal to donate, choose Other, and pay $10.
