Week 1 — Chamber Sets

Before indoor plumbing became commonplace, the bedroom held a very different set of everyday necessities!

Join Pat Pixley for Week 1 of History & Appreciation of Antiques as she explores Chamber Sets. Discover the pitchers, wash basins, chamber pots, soap dishes, and other coordinated pieces that once played an important role in daily routines. Learn about their uses, materials, decorative styles, and what these beautiful … and very practical sets … can tell us about changing ideas of comfort, cleanliness, and life at home.

Whether you collect antique ceramics, enjoy learning about Victorian domestic life, or simply love discovering the purpose behind unusual objects from the past, this class is sure to be fascinating.
