Baltimore Oval-Back Chairs Restored

September, 2021 – December 2022

Homewood Museum\ Free

In 2019, Homewood launched a Dress-A-Chair fundraising campaign to outfit six Baltimore-made, oval-back chairs with custom white dimity reproduction slipcovers. The results are on display in the Reception Hall, along with interpretive text about the chairs and an exhibit case exploring joinery and upholstery.
