The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum
kicks off the Holiday Season the day after Thanksgiving and invites visitors to
step back in time to experience the wonders and beauty of mid-to-late 19th
century holiday traditions. A new exhibition entitled, A Magnificent Victorian Holiday at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum
opens at noon on Friday, November 24, 2017, at 295 West Avenue.
The
Museum
will explore the holiday traditions from the 1860s through the 1930s, as they were
celebrated by the Lockwood and the Mathews families in Norwalk, Connecticut and
New York City. The Mansion will also feature 21st century holiday design
and lavish trees and seasonal displays by renowned interior designers, Victoria Vandamm of Vandamm Interiors and Kip O’Brien of Kip
O’Brien Design, LLC, a full-service, residential
interior design firm in Cos Cob, CT. Kip’s successful career includes fashion
advertising at Vogue, Town & Country, and Glamour magazines and a strong
understanding of color, proportion, and texture.
As seen in the recently
published book by photographer Caryn B.
Davis, Christmas in Connecticut, red silk garlands embellished with ribbons
and trimmings will drape the grand Victorian staircase designed by the Herter Brothers and decorated by Danna DiElsi, owner of The Silk Touch in Norwalk, CT.
