Duncan Phyfe
Duncan Phyfe Made Some of The Most Beautiful Furniture Found in America. His Family Name Was Originally Fife, and He Was Born in Scotland in 1768. In 1784, The Fife Family Immigrated to Albany, New York Where Duncan's Father Opened a Cabinet Making Shop. Duncan Followed in His Father's Footsteps and Was ApprentICEd to a CabinetMaker. After COMPLETING HIS Training, Duncan Moved to New York City. Duncan Fife Was First Mentioned in the 1792 NYC Directory As A Furniture "Joiner" in Business At 2 Broad Street. Two Years Later, He Moved, Expanded His Business, And Changed His Name To Phyfe. HE WAS A QUIET-LIVING, GOD-FEARING YOUNG MAN WHO FELT HIS NEW NAME WOULD PROBABLY APPEAL TO POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS WHO WERE DEFINITELY ANTI-BRITISH IN THIS POST-REVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD. Duncan Phyfe's Name Distinguished Him From His Contemporarias. Although The New Spelling Helped Him Better Compete with FRENCH ÉMIGRÉ CRAFTSMEN, HIS NEW NAME HAD MORE TO DO WITH HANGING IT ON SIGN OVER HIS Door Stoop.
The Artisans and Merchants Who Came to America Discovered A Unique Kind of Freedom. THEY WERE NO LONGER RESTRICTED by Class and Guild Traditions of Europe. For the first time in History, a man learned that by Working Hard, He Could Build His Business Based on His Own Name and Reputation and Quality of Work. Phyfe's Workshop Apparently Took Off Immediately. AT The Peak of His Success, Phyfe Employed 100 Craftsmen. Some Economic Historians Point to Phyfe As Having Employed Division of Labor and An Assembly Line. Whats His Workshop Produced SHOWS Phyfe's Absolute Dedication to Quality in Workmanship. Each Piece of Furniture Was Made of The Best Available Materials. HE WAS REPORTED TO HAVE PAID $ 1,000 for a single Santo Domingo Mahogany Log.
Phyfe Did Not Create New Designs. Rather, He Borrowed From A Broad Range of The Period's Classical Styles, Empire, Sheraton, Regency, and French Classical Among Them. NEVERTHELESS, PHYFE'S HIGH QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP ESTABLISHED HIM AMERICA 'ESTABLISHED HIM AMERICA'S PATRIOTIC INTERPRETER OF EUROPEAN DESIGN IN THE LATE EIGHTEENTH AND EARLY NINETENTH CENTURIES. Although The Number of Pieces Produced by Duncan Phyfe's Workshop is Enormous, Comparatively Few Marked or Labeled Pieces Have Been Found Extant. In Antiques Shops and Auctions, Collectors Have PAID $ 11,000 for a Card Table, $ 24,200 for a Tea Table, and $ 93,500 for a sewing table.

Some Time Ago, I Was In A Bicycle Shop Looking for a New Lock for My Bicycle. The Shopkeeper Showed Me Several, Patiently Explaining Their Advantages and Disadvantages. None of them Was Quite What I Wanted and Eventually I Said To the Shopkeeper, "I'll Think About It. Thanks Very Much, and Left The Shop. Why Did I Say, "I'll Think About IT"? Not Something More Straightforward Like, "None Of These Is Right", "They're Too Big", "They Arecle Small", "They're Too Expensive", "I'll Go Elsewhere"? I THINK, THERE ARE TWO REASONS WHY I CHOSE TO SAY "I'LL THINK ABOUT IT". The First Is That I Didn't Want The Shopkeeper to Feel That His Products Were Not Valued Or That His Time Had Been Wasted and Second Is That I Didn't Want To Be The Object of His Possible Annoyance or Irritation. In Other Words, I Didn't Want Him to Feel Bad. And i Didn't Want Me to Feel Bad. We Have Words for this General Behavior Pattern of Not Wanting Ourselves Or Other People to Feel Bad As A Result of the Interactions That We Have ... Have with Other People. We Talk About Tact, Which is Defined in the Collins Concise Dictionary As 'The Sense of Whats Is Fitting and Considerate in Dealing Whathers So As to Avoid Giving Offence', Or We Might Equally DooPle Do, Politeness Behaviour. Now Notice That Definition of Tact Talks About Avoiding Giving Offence. IS Not Talking About Something Positive That WE Do in Order to make People Feel Better Than They Otherwise Would. So, Here We Get Talking ABOUT THE KIND OF BEHAVIOUR WE GET INTO WHEN, FOR EXAMPLE, WE CONSOLE A FRIEND WHOSE CAT HAS JUST BEEN RUN OVER OR CAT HAS PARTNER ON A VERY WELL-COOKED MEAL. We Are Not Trying Here to Positively Make People Feel Better, But Trying to Avoid Them Feeling Bad. So, this is a negative Kind of Behaviour That I'm Talking About. But The Fact That It's Negative Doesn't Mean That It's Not Terribly Important. IT IS EXTREMELY Important. IT IS Essential to Our Self-Preservation and To Social Cohesion. And for This Reason Avoidance Behaviour Is of Great Interest to Many Different Kinds of Scholars.
