The Material World of Eyre Hall
D Giles Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-911282-91-4 (ISBN)
Erected in 1759 on the Eastern shore of Virginia, the remarkable Eyre Hall is still occupied by descendants of its builder, Littleton Eyre. Since construction, Eyre’s succeeding generations have acquired and preserved a rich variety of objects reflecting the tastes and aspirations of the many different families that lived there. Featuring extensively researched text from 22 contributors, this volume comprises four main sections that examine the historical, sociological, anthropological and architectural significance of the house, from the first generation through to the current owner, Furlong Baldwin. A catalogue raisonné of the material culture of Eyre Hall includes furniture, silver, ceramics, glass, paintings, prints, books, musical instruments, bound sheet music, textiles and miscellaneous objects. This volume also presents two family trees—one of the Eyre family; the other of people who worked at the house in the early 20th century—and four major maps, alongside stunning new colour photography of the building, grounds and catalogue pieces.
