BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

The Walpole Society is an organization that is dedicated to the appreciation and study of American decorative art, architecture, and history. It took its name from Horace Walpole (1717-1797), an English writer, political figure, and collector. A member of the society once wrote of Walpole: "his turn of mind and methods of collecting were similar to those of our collectors--their prototype, as it were."

The society was established in Boston in October 1909, by H. Eugene Bolles, H.W. Kent, and Luke Vincent Lockwood. Early leaders of the society held an organizational meeting on January 21, 1910, at Heublein's Hotel, Hartford, Conn., and it is this day that the group recognizes as its date of origin. At that time 25 individuals were invited to join the society; 21 accepted. Membership included--and still includes--scholars, antiquarians, writers, collectors, and museum and library professionals. Throughout the years, many Walpoleans have enjoyed the personal wherewithal to assemble their own significant collections of Americana. From its inception in 1910 through 1994, there have been 125 members, by design all male. In recent years, wives of members and widows of former members have been invited to society functions.

At one point in its history, qualifications for membership were defined as "distinction in the collecting of early American objects of the decorative arts and fine arts, or attainment through study or experience in the knowledge of these arts; and the social qualifications essential to the well-being of a group of like-minded persons."

Early members included Edwin Atlee Barber, writer and expert on pottery and porcelain and director of the Philadelphia Museum and School of Industrial Art; Clarence Brigham, bibliophile and director of the American Antiquarian Society; Thomas Benedict Clarke, art collector, connoisseur and agent; John Cotton Dana, director of the Free Public Library of Newark, New Jersey, and also of the Newark Museum Association; Henry Francis du Pont, collector of American decorative arts and founder of the Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library; Mantle Fielding, an architect by training and an author of studies on American painting; R.T.H. Halsey, a broker by vocation and an art critic, collector, and writer by avocation; and Thomas W. Streeter, lawyer, businessman, and book collector.

The Walpole Society meets regularly, customarily two or three times each year. Meetings have usually taken place in states along the eastern seaboard from Maine to South Carolina, though members of the society traveled to Bermuda in 1968 and Italy in 1984. In an effort to expand membership geographically during the 1990s, there were meetings in California, New Mexico, and Texas. Typically, meetings consist of visits to historic sites and libraries, as well as social functions. Members are encouraged to discuss their interests and collections at their gatherings.

The society has an impressive list of publications to its credit. They include Furniture Collector's Glossary, by Luke Vincent Lockwood (1913), Ceramic Collector's Glossary, by Edwin Atlee Barber (1914), List of Early American Silversmiths ..., by Hollis French (1917), and The Arts & Crafts in Philadelphia, Maryland, and South Carolina, by Alfred Coxe Prime (1929-1932). As well, from 1926 the society has published its own annual, The Walpole Society Note Book, in which former members are remembered through memorials, meetings are recounted and pictured, and writings on topics of interest are shared. In addition to works issued by the society, its membership has an impressive independent publishing record.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

The records of the Walpole Society--actually, its archives and modest library--date from 1909 to 2013. Included are manuscript and printed records of and photographs taken at meetings, nominations for membership, correspondence between the secretary and members of the society, materials relating to Walpole Society publications, biographical materials about society members, and some financial data. As well, there is a DVD of a 2007 television program broadcast on C-SPAN featuring the Christie’s sale of the Frank Streeter collection.

Because he was secretary for so long, 1939-1962, many of the letters in the archive came from the office of Chauncey C. Nash, a stockbroker and collector of American furniture. Other secretaries who served from 1909 to 1960 were Henry Watson Kent (1910-1911, 1915-1923), Dwight Blaney (1911-1912), George Parker Winship (1912-1915), and Philip L. Spalding (1923-1938). Correspondence of Francis L. Berkeley, Jr. is also found.
