Both George and Chauncey Whitmore built furniture and also worked with my grandfather, Frank Horton, at the Portland (CT) boatworks during WW1. This linen press is a lovely example of John Whitmore's work. John is the third generation, his daughter Beryl works with him and she is the fourth generation, and who knows but perhaps one of her children will express an interest in fine woodworking someday. Note the inlay and the carved feet. Mr. Whitmore used our most popular pull on this piece, C-602S drawer pulls in the antique brass finish. They also conservatively restore antique originals, both repairing finishes as well as fabricating new parts to replace missing originals. In fact, this piece has an antique base but the top is new. The inlay has been carefully matched to the original.
