n the world of antiques, the term federal furniture and Seymour are inextricably linked.  The father and son team of John and Thomas Seymour of Boston, Massachusetts, have by far the most coveted name to come out of that era.
 
This sideboard (or mixing board, due to its marble top), typifies their work.  Two design elements point directly to the Seymour style: the use of the tambour doors in alternating tiger maple and mahogany strips, and and the tiger maple inlay set into the perimeter of the tabletop and case bottom.  The Hepplewhite-style cuffed foot leads experts to believe this piece may have been created prior to the Seymours' arrival in Boston; possibly around 1790, when the Seymours resided in Portland, Maine. 
Chippendale Entertainment Center

This entertainment center is a fine example of the custom furniture concept. It was put together by incorporating many different aspect of several cupboards and applied into one final piece. The inclusion of the ogee feet, and especially the fluted corner columns, help to propel this entertainment center straight to the top of its class.
High Chest

This "Highboy" was originally made in 1748-9. The interesting point is that the upper case was made by Moses Bayley and the lower case was made by Joshua Morss. It was created for a marriage. I was told by Mr. Albert Sack that this piece was originally thought to be a "Marriage" until Sack & Co. proved that it was indeed created by two different hands, but they were both in the same shop. The twin drop finial suggest a William & Mary style. Everything else shows true Queen Anne.
Slant-Lid Desk

This Queen Anne Slant Lid Desk exhibits the bold ogee bracket feet and a one board desk lid along with an interior that is cathedral as well as stepped, a most complex interior.
Country Sheraton Corner Cupboard

A country version of the Sheraton style, this two piece cupboard commands attention at 90" in height. There are decorative cut shelves behind the 12 panes of restoration glass. Featured in "Popular Woodworking" magazine issue # 131 Dec. 2002.

I've read about link exchanges a lot recently. I've seen a lot of people who say that their predictions that link exchange would stop working saying that they were right, and that they don't work, and that they in fact hurt your website. Let's stop right there. Proclaiming the death of link exchanges is still a little premature.
