Preservation of the Harriett Parkhurst Ingersoll Table Display, Keene, NH
In 2006, the City of Keene received a grant of $10,734 toward the preservation of the Harriett Parkhurst Ingersoll table displayed in the office of the City Clerk.
Historically the table is a common pedestal style table dating back to the early 19th century; however the unique artwork attached is a very early example of decoupage. This art form was intended to imitate the fine hand painted embellishments of European court furniture of the period.
