Henry Lapp

Henry L. Lapp, b. in Leacock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on August 18, 1862, d. in Gordonsville, on July 5, 1904, one of the best known carpenters-cabinetmakers of nineteenth century America. Lapp's designs and colorful drawings have been saved to the posterity in his "handbook", which he must have carried it with him to show samples of his cabinets to prospective clients. Experts point to Lapp's designs as the closest representation of what it is thought as the Amish furniture style. Since 1958, incidentally, after receiving a gift from Titus Geesey, much of the work of Henry Lapp is being collected by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
