The Furniture
Over his lifetime, Thomas Day became a master cabinetmaker and entrepreneur. The legacy of his career as a furniture maker can be seen through his strong, characterizing design features like fluid linework, wavelike and spiral shapes, and unique motifs that still make his work recognizable today. His work is specialized by the use of materials like imported mahogany and the use of veneers on his furniture. Today, the works of Thomas Day can be found in museums and private collections all across the country.
