Here's a little treat for all Rapalje descendants--the much-talked about but rarely seen chair. It is in the warehouse of the Museum of the City of New York, and I just photographed it for my project. In living color!

How cool! Good to find your blog. I just found out I am a descendent via Sarah also :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for the names of the children in the 1768 Durand painting. Would someone please provide them?
ReplyDeleteThnx~• Mike vB
What a shame the chair is no longer on exhibit!
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to look at the chair? Mary - how did you get permission to photograph it?
