Greetings!
Welcome
to the first edition of Winterthur's Licensed
Products e-newsletter, House of
Style. All of us at Winterthur are
pleased and excited about the activities and
projects of our business partners. My
colleagues and I thank each of you for your strong
and continuing support.
The
income generated through the licensed products
program supports Winterthur's educational,
conservation, and research programs. Through
you we also enhance the public's knowledge of the
history, quality, and excellence of this great
institution.
I invite you to contact
us if there are ways to improve or enhance our
partnership. And, of course, our latchkey will be
out if you would like to visit.

the Winterthur collection, was designed by
architect John
Milner. The lead builder, Brent Hull of Hull
Historical, is a Winterthur licensee and an
expert on historic moldings and millwork.
Hickory
Chair University at

Hickory
Chair's September sales meeting featured the
first-ever Hickory Chair University Course at
Winterthur, giving the sales team a unique chance

In
celebration of the 10th anniversary of Hickory
Chair's partnership with Winterthur, the company
introduced a new piece in its Winterthur
Collection at the fall High Point Market. The Webb
Hall Dresser is based on the pine dresser, made
between 1750 and 1790, that originally inspired H.
F. du Pont to start collecting American antiques.
