Sarah D. Coffin, an Independent Consultant, Curator and Lecturer, who is Former Senior Curator of Product Design and Decorative Arts at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum will examine similarities of form and decoration in English and American furniture  from the lens of shared design sources.
