The Personal Collection of Lewis ScrantonSkinner is proud to present the Personal Collection of Lewis Scranton, the culmination of sixty years of passionate and focused

collecting of early New England history. From important early redware and 18th century painted furniture to beautifully cut

silhouettes and interesting ironwork, the collection represents a carefully curated offering of Americana rarely seen today. Lew

is offering in this auction pieces that he chose to keep for his personal collection; items he has never before offered for sale.

Beginning with his first purchase of an 18th century drop-leaf tavern table in Fort Edward, New York, in 1956, Lew’s focus

has been on the utilitarian objects of primarily the 18th and early 19th century. He loves the simplicity and functionality of their

designs. His fondness for these objects is further rooted in the fact that they tell a story about the lives of everyday people.

During our many visits with Lew at his home, it was clear that his collection was an integral part of his life. Each room in

his lovingly restored 18th century house is carefully furnished with his collection, not as a museum with precisely arranged

vignettes of the past, but as functional living spaces.

As an eleventh generation descendant of the original settlers of the town of Guilford, Lew is a “dyed-in-the-wool” New

Englander. His affinity for New England antiques is infectious. Red-painted cupboards are filled with redware, walls are

decorated with silhouettes of early 19th century men, women, and children, and rooms are furnished with largely Connecticut-

made painted furniture spanning the 18th century. Every piece has a story to tell whether it is related to the largely forgotten

function of a wrought iron hot toddy stick hanging on the side of a fireplace, or the long endeavor that eventually resulted in

the acquisition of a wonderful red-painted Connecticut desk-on-frame that sits in his living room. He is particularly fond of the

several pieces of furniture from his hometown of Guilford, most of which can be traced to some of the town’s earliest residents.

Inevitably, however, our discussions with Lew regarding his collection focused on details that make each piece special, such

as subtle variations in heart and crown chairs made by makers in different communities, or variations in the glazes of redware

vessels that he feels distinguish pieces potted in Connecticut from those of Maine or Massachusetts.

Lew loves his collection and believes that he and all of us who have an interest in the past are stewards of history with a

responsibility to care for objects for future generations. Anyone who knows Lew Scranton knows this to be true.

Please Note: Lots are sold without reserve and are not subject to a buyer’s premium.
