Gallery 738 - Greek Revival Parlor

The Richard and Gloria Manney Greek Revival Parlor is a modern re-creation of a formal front parlor in a New York townhouse from about 1835. The room was designed by the Museum to showcase a rare suite of seating furniture made by Duncan Phyfe for the New York lawyer Samuel A. Foot. The only period elements are the Ionic columnar screen at the entrance with massive mahogany sliding doors, acquired from a New York townhouse, and the black marble mantelpiece, from a Greek Revival home in Rye.
