In Plain Sight: Discovering the Furniture of Nathaniel Gould
In Plain Sight: Discovering the Furniture of Nathaniel Gould is the stunning result of happy accident and dedicated research. In the field of early American furniture made in Massachusetts, Nathaniel Gould has loomed as something of a mystery—believed to have been prolific, handsomely skilled, and exceptionally enterprising, yet considered elusive because of a scarcity of known works, lack of documentation, and difficulties of attribution. This book establishes Gould unquestionably as Salem’s leading cabinetmaker before and during the period of the American Revolution. He made substantial and often expensive furniture, including case pieces of bombé form embellished with carving. In Plain Sight presents a choice array of forms confidently assigned to Gould’s shop, and makes accessible the ledgers themselves, meticulously analyzed and interpreted to facilitate present and ongoing scholarship regarding Nathaniel Gould, Salem, early New England furniture, and colonial America.
The publication accompanies the exhibition In Plain Sight: Discovering the Furniture of Nathaniel Gould which was on view at the Peabody Essex Museum from November 15, 2014, through March 29, 2015.
