No, it’s not precisely garden related, but Historic New England will hold a Boston Classical Furniture Lecture on Tuesday, September 17 from 7 – 9 at Otis House, 141 Cambridge Street in Boston, featuring Robert Mussey on The Flowering of Regency Style in Boston Furniture. The first quarter of the nineteenth century produced some of Boston’s most creative and skilled cabinetmakers. Recent research by independent furniture scholar Robert Mussey has uncovered remarkable survivals and identified key players in the flowering of the early nineteenth century Boston furniture industry. $14 ($8 for HNE members). To register, call 617-994-5959.
