Where to find Wallace Nutting

The Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut (wadsworthatheneum.org), is home to the largest portion of Wallace Nutting’s collection of original 17th- and 18th-century furnishings, some 550 pieces of furniture, ironwork, lamps, kitchen tools, and other goods, in addition to a sizable collection of the Nutting factories’ 20th-century reproduction furniture, design templates, and hand-tinted photos. Nutting furniture and ironwork are not currently on view, as the museum’s decorative-arts galleries are under renovation, but when they reopen, the Nutting collection will form a significant exhibit.
