What can a table tell us about American history? Inlaid with more than 30,000 pieces of wood, this tilt-top center table was created by German immigrant Peter Glass. As a farmer in Wisconsin, Glass applied his native training as a marquetry craftsman to make award-winning furniture in his spare time.
The elaborate octagonal tabletop combines traditional European designs with patriotic American motifs, including portraits of U.S. military generals. (If you're curious, moving clockwise from the top left, the portraits are of Benjamin F. Butler, John Ellis Wool, Zachary Taylor, and George Washington). Glass's table helps us explore the story of European immigration to the Midwest in the 1800s in the museum's new, permanent exhibition "Many Voices, One Nation," opening June 28. Stay tuned tomorrow for another one of our favorite #TablesOfHistory!
