This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Caroline Coleman Duke Collection of Early American Furniture and Objects of Art: The Most Important and Largest Collection of Its Kind Ever Gathered in the South, Containing Fine Pieces in Walnut, Pine and Mahogany Gathered in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina The Anderson Galleries have now the pleasure of offer ing by public auction the important collection of early Ameri can furniture gathered by Mrs. Caroline Coleman Duke, of Richmond, Virginia. Mrs. Duke is of an old and well-known Southern family. She has been active for years in every en deavor to preserve the traditions, historic reminiscences and art treasures of the South, individually and in connection with the various patriotic and historic societies of Virginia. She has collected antique furniture all over the South, going as far as Georgia. Her collection is typically Southern, and brings to the Northerner a distinctive flavor of an unknown land. It is an unknown land indeed. Northerners go in in creasing numbers southward. The South, before the Civil War a land of romance to the Northerner, has again become the land of romance; and, by a strange irony of fate, the North erner tries to penetrate the spirit of this land and this romance, by patronizing the Hot Springs and White Sulphur resorts in Virginia, Pinehurst and Asheville in North Carolina, Augusta in Georgia, and in Florida the semi-tropical Winter resorts, efliciently run by Northerners in a Southern stage setting. The real South is veiled in a Fata Morgana, a mirage that conceals what it seems to make clear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
