In 1983 Kindel was awarded a license to reproduce important examples of furniture from du Pont’s collection. Kindel sought to recreate the “best of kind” examples due to their complexity, authenticity and craftsmanship. Through the demands of scholars and conservators at Winterthur, Kindel developed the highest standards of execution in the furniture industry.
This stunning exhibit “Jacqueline Kennedy and H.F. Dupont: From Winterthur to the Whitehouse” is on display at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware through January 2023. This fabulous image from the exhibit and the article in the WSJ, shows the New York Sideboard, one of the items Kindel has recreated and still makes today.
