Description:
Walnut-veneered looking glass sconce with original glass and brass socket. Samuel Barnard (1684-1762) lived in Deerfield, MA and in 1718 married Sarah Williams (1695-1720). After his wife's death, he moved to Salem where he became a successful merchant. His wife was the owner of a well-known painted "Hadley" cupboard and his first wife may have owned a similarly-painted chest-with-drawers. After his death in 1762, Samuel Barnard left money in his will for the purchase of a silver tankard to be given to the First Church of Deerfield in his memory. His nephew Joseph Barnard of Deerfield purchased the tankard for the Church. The tankard was made by Paul Revere and is owned by Historic Deerfield. See tankard HD 97.60.5 and bill of sale HD 77.051
