Presenting the Collection of Jerold D. Krouse of Natchez, Mississippi. With a discerning eye, he assembled an exceptional collection of Irish furniture and silver, as well as American furniture. A lifetime of collecting yielded the finest examples of carved George II and Philadelphia Chippendale, tables, chairs, chest-on-chests, and other furnishings, with a George Wicks tureen, a tea caddy set, and other museum quality silver objects. The common thread throughout the collection is the exquisite furniture echoed by the ornate figural motifs adorning the silver making this collection unique.
