SUMMARY:Lecture - All the World’s a Stage: The Role of Architecture and Interior Decor in Entertaining at Anderson House\, 1905-1929
DESCRIPTION:Anderson House\, the winter home of Larz and Isabel Anderson between 1905 and 1937\, stands as a testament to all that was gracious and in good taste in entertaining during the waning decades of America’s Gilded Age. An architectural masterpiece based on the English late Baroque period\, with elements from the French Beaux-Arts tradition\, the house was designed as both a splendid stage upon which the social status and careers of the couple could be promoted and advanced\, and as a private home with cozy rooms that afforded comfort and privacy. Historian Stephen T. Moskey\, Ph.D.\, describes how the interior arrangement of rooms and spaces in the public areas of the house created a formal system for the seamless flow of guests over the course of an evening’s entertainment. Using period and contemporary photography\, he shows how the entertainment function of each of the mansion’s public rooms helped determine the couple’s eclectic arrangements of items from their large collection of fine furniture\, paintings\, tapestries\, sculpture\, porcelain and more that they collected on their travels around the world. \nThis program accompanies our exhibition Affairs of State: 118 Years of Diplomacy and Entertaining at Anderson House\, on view from February 24 to December 31\, 2023. \nRegistration is requested. To attend the lecture in-person at Anderson House\, or to watch virtually\, please use the appropriate form below.\n  \nAbout the Speaker\nStephen T.
