HISTORIC DEERFIELD COLLECTION - ANTIQUE AMERICAN COLONIAL & FEDERAL FURNITURE
The Furniture of Historic Deerfield” By Dean A. Fales. Published in New York by E.P. Dutton in 1976. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The beautiful and scholarly catalog of this very important collection of 17th and 18th century New England furniture. The Flynts themselves purchased most of the items in the collection. So it not only shows a fine cross-section of the best New England furniture, but is also an example of the taste and collecting eye of a single pair of astute and unique collectors. The Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association website notes- Henry Needham Flynt(1893-1970) with his wife Helen, founded Historic Deerfield in Deerfield, Massachusetts. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of George Converse Flynt and Helen Pratt Needham. In 1920 he married Helen Margaret Geier(1895-1986) of Cincinnati, Ohio. ... moreThe Flynts lived in Brooklyn Heights for several years and then decided to move out of the city. They built a home in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1929. They had three children, including one son, Henry Jr. who went to Deerfield Academy in 1936. By 1941 Henry Sr. was on the academy's board of directors. Their connection with headmaster Frank Boyden and with the town of Deerfield itself led the Flynts to purchase their first property in the town in 1942. Soon they purchased four more properties, viewing their mission for the town as one of preservation and restoration, a mission that had expanded to include the entire village center of Deerfield. To furnish their houses they began purchasing antiques that often had some historical association with the property. In 1952, to assist their efforts, the Flynts formed the Heritage Foundation, which was renamed Historic Deerfield in 1971. Henry Flynt closely followed the foundation's activities. His involvement in Deerfield history led to his membership in the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, Deerfield's first historical association, serving as its president from 1949 until his death in 1970.

Antique American Colonial & Federal Furniture : Eddy Nicholson Collection 1995
An Interesting Auction Catalog- The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy Nicholson” The catalog to an auction held in New York by Christie's on January 27-28th. 1995. Sale 8082. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The auction sale of the premier Americana collection of the 1980s. Nicholson made headlines in the 1980s when he broke record after record buying premier pieces of American colonial and federal furniture and related decorative arts at auction. And then made headlines again when he sold it all. The catalog Christie's produced for the sale is a sumptuous hardcover, packed so full of color illustrations and folding color plates that it almost explodes right off the bookshelf. His 2011 New York Times obituary notes- Eddy G. Nicholson. A spark plug of a man who was the son of a factory worker in Sherman, Tex. began ... morecollecting early American artifacts in the early 1980s, flush from his recent success in high finance. His blunt, hard-driving style unnerved some buyers steeped in Old World collector traditions of propriety, art scholarship and, above all, privacy. For one thing, he would sit there with an auction paddle, which was unusual, said John Hays, the deputy chairman of Christie’s America, who became a friend. Important buyers usually sent surrogates or bid by phone, he explained. And if he wanted something, he added, nothing could stop him. Mr. Nicholson helped push prices to unprecedented heights. Bidding on an 18th-century Philadelphia Chippendale wing chair at Sotheby’s in 1986, he made the first bid at $400,000, and kept hoisting his paddle high while imperceptible signals from competitors around the room(an earlobe tug, a crossing of arms) drove the sale price to $1.1 million, then a record for American furniture, according to an account in The New York Times. Mr. Nicholson got his wing chair. In 1980 Mr. Nicholson was president of Congoleum, a publicly traded conglomerate involved in military contracting, auto supplies and floor covering, when he and a fellow executiv
