Colonial to Modern: A Century of Collecting at Historic New England included eighteenth to twentieth century furniture, paintings by academic and provincial artists, ceramics made in New England and abroad, and personal accessories from diamon brooches to silk brocade shoes. The focus was on great objects with great stories, such as the Quincy family's Boston-made Japanned high chest, a 1735-1745 tour d'force of furniture that comes from one of New England's most influential families and survived two fires.
