W275 – John Townsend Block-and-Shell Chest
Mar 22, 2019
LaPlaca came across the original of this John Townsend block-and-shell chest in The Master Craftsmen of Newport, the Townsends and the Goddards by Michael Moses and Israel Sack (MMI Americana Press, 1984). “For lovers of Newport furniture like me, this book is a must-have.” LaPlaca used photos in the book to model the chest in SketchUp.
