Widener Estate Marble Bench
About the Item
a 110-room Georgian-style mansion in Elkins Park, Montgomery County [Pennsylvania]. Considered one of the largest surviving Gilded Age mansions, it was designed by Horace Trumbauer for industrialist Peter A. B. Widener between 1897 and 1900 and housed one of the most important private art collections of European master pieces and decorative arts assembled by Widener and his youngest son Joseph. In addition to the large art gallery, the 110-room estate also included a ballroom, swimming pool, wine cellars, a farm and an electrical power plant. The spectacular collection at Lynnewood Hall (dubbed "The last of the American Versailles" by Widener's grandson) was on public view daily from 1915 to 1940 between June and October. In 1940, Joseph E. Widener donated more than 2,000 sculptures, paintings, decorative art, and porcelains to the National Gallery of Art.
In the 1950's the ownership left the Widener family. The bench measures 26.5 inches in height, 92.5 inches in length, and 24 inches deep.
