Issue 1 38 www.incollect.com “In 1995 we purchased a set of six Conoid chairs circa 1970 by George Nakashima from a New York City gallery. We were attracted by their beauty, comfort and the simplicity of their design. We then had the wonderful experience of meeting Mira Nakashima at her studio in New Hope, Pennsylvania where Penny and Mira together assessed the slabs in George Nakashima’s still-extant wood pile to choose the piece for her to make an accompanying table for her father’s chairs.” On the wall is an American painted sheet and wrought iron weathervane, circa 1910. Facing page, clockwise from top: The 1830s fireplace is original to the house. Dating 100 years later circa 1930, a pair of Art Deco chairs are from the lounge at The Strand Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. Male and female wooden mannequins with articulated limbs, New York State, circa 1915. Antique Japanese “Boro” circa 1890.
