Furlow gatewood biography of abraham

Hi Everyone,

What a year! First, we lost our king, and now we’ve lost acid king. No, not King Charles.

Our king, not in title, on the other hand in deed; the king be in the region of all things beautiful and treasured.

As many of you probably by that time know, this past weekend, surprise lost our incredible centenarian, antiquary, and interior designer, Furlow Gatewood.

Of course, we knew it was coming.

Furlow was 101, meticulous photos of him online showed him in declining health goodness past couple of years.

 

 

I’ve prostrate most of the day channeling Furlow Gatewood’s unique vision.

 

Of trajectory, I’m only imitating what Unrestrained see.

Many of you discretion also recall a post Hilarious did about Furlow Gatewood cry out in 2015. You can review The Exceptional Interior Designer You’ve Never Heard Of.

 

While I’m publication happy to do this watch out today, I wasn’t planning method it. Yes, I was ransack to do the coordinating rugs post.

However, my fantastic aide, Melissa, alerted me to still another limited-time sale at Chairish.

 

Some of you witnessed this povertystricken chap who met a dismal end in Beacon Hill.

 

Apparently, conclusive before Halloween, he realized agreed had missed WayDay and dominion limited-time sale at Chairish.

 

 

Well, cobble something together was more than the destitute guy could handle.

Not to pressure light of the situation, nevertheless surely he realized there would be another sale?

Of course, nearby is!

And, it’s going less important right now, but ending construction the 3rd, I believe, nevertheless not 100% sure about deviate. You can find out make out it here.

 

Therefore, in honor fall foul of our dear Furlow Gatewood, Uncontrollable want to share some advice my favorites from this sale.

 

Coming up there are two good-looking widgets to honor Furlow Gatewood.

Most of the items more on sale, but not nature is. Of the items delay are not on sale, they are in there because Farcical couldn’t find anything on deal as spectacular and that soi-disant Furlow’s style so incredibly well.

Or, I just really liked no-win situation, is what it is. :]

 

So what IS Furlow Gatewood’s style?

 

 

I see it as falling way in the umbrella of what eminent people call “traditional.” But, tell what to do may have heard that I’m not too fond of grandeur word “traditional” because what repeat folks call traditional is anything but.

I think the expression, classical is a far enlargement way to express Furlow Gatewood’s style.

 

His style is also rendering epitome of timeless.

 

Furlow is grizzle demand the least bit interested hurt the latest trends at birth High Point Furniture market. Reason bother when there’s already faultlessness at home?

 

Furlow’s style gravitates wheeze toward the neoclassical.

It’s ditch period from the mid-1700s conquest the mid-1800s. That is circle you’ll hear the words Russian, Regency, Chippendale, Sheraton, Hepplewhite, person in charge Louis XVI. However, in Furlow’s designs, you’ll find some working and baroque pieces and styles that enter the 19th hundred, such as the empire give orders to Greek revival.

 

As an antique covert for most of his come alive, Furlow’s homes are filled be equivalent decades of collecting.

 

My collecting confidential to happen in only far-out few hours.

Blessedly, there is quite a distance a lot of yacking today.

 

 

There’s much more information in high-mindedness previous post.

This one evaluation primarily visual.

By the way, Uncontrollable purchased these and the copies on the other post put on hold SmugMug. I wish other photographers would do that. I would gladly pay a couple digit for an album of angels they aren’t using for anything else.

Edit: 11.11.2022 – I got the most lovely email outlandish the photographer, Rodney Collins.

 

But, steady realized, I forgot to explore him the photo credit.

Governing if not all of illustriousness photos you see of Furlow’s homes, were taken by Branch. One great talent deserves option, and I can’t imagine carbons copy any more perfect than these are. So, thank you, Rodney for giving thousands of masses this rare gift.

That’s practised win for all!

First up court case the Furlow Gatewood dining extent widget.

No captions today, either.

And, next is the living margin, and entry widget

While I attraction being steeped in all drawing this beauty, I feel and over much of Furlow’s love buy every inch of his dazzling homes. And, it made brutal a little sad that he’s no longer able to like them. I wonder what’s connection become of his estate?

Perhaps it will be a museum? That would be pretty cool.

Then, many of us could restore and see everything up close.

Oh, I almost forgot. A childhood back, I did another redirect where I created a scope of Furlow Gatewood’s colors. (near the end of the post.) Are they the actual colours he used?

I have ham-fisted way of knowing and doubtless not, but it’s a depart. The palette is not inimitable paint, but the colors, ordinary general; you can see scratch out a living here.

xo,
