The New Yankee Workshop - Season 16 - Eps 6: The Dower Chest
Pennsylvania Dutch is an endearing style created by early furniture makers. Many pieces of this delightful furniture, painted with a colorful primitive design, can be found at the Winterthur estate, in Delaware, Henry DuPont's fabulous treasure house of American antiques. With curator Greg Landry, Norm tours the collection and finds an interesting dower chest dating back to 1840. Norm builds his own of tulip poplar and calls on a decorative painter to recreate typical Pennsylvania Dutch artwork.
