Greene & Greene Drop-In Talks: Inlaid Library Table

Join docents from the Gamble House in Pasadena as they host drop-in talks about the furniture commissioned for the Thorsen House in Berkeley, California.
Lectures

The William Randolph Thorsen House was designed by the architects Henry Mather Greene and Charles Sumner Greene in style of the American Arts & Crafts in 1909. The furniture built for the house included the use of exotic hardwoods with spectacular grain patterns. These pieces, constructed in a workshop set up in the basement of the house, are among Greene & Greene's most elaborate designs. Join Gamble House docents in The Huntington’s Greene & Greene Gallery for a close look at what made this furniture so special.

Informal drop-in talks at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
