Documentary History
Overview

Antique furniture produced in eighteenth-century Williamsburg serves as patterns for work produced today in Colonial Williamsburg's restored Hay's Cabinetmaking shop. This documentary captures the master of the shop, as he uses the tools and technology of the era to reproduce the sculpted cabriole legs, carved ball-and-claw feet, carved acanthus leaf decoration, mortise and tenon, dovetails, and a wooden hinge of a 1760s card table. This program will interest collectors and producers of fine furniture and technical enthusiasts who want to know more about traditional methods of furniture structure and decoration.
