Greene & Greene Drop-In Talks: Chiffonier
One of the most prized pieces of furniture that Greene & Greene designed for the Gamble House is a black walnut bedroom chiffonier. Join docents from the Gamble House to discover how the architects’ knowledge of woodworking and joinery are reflected in the design itself and explore the interplay between the ornamental and functional.
Informal talks will take place at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 1:30 p.m.
