Welcome to the Stanley Weiss Collection / The Museum of American Classical Furniture
We have evolved over many decades as a collector/dealer’s enterprise, the Stanley Weiss Collection, to now founding the Museum of American Classical Furniture (MACF). As a private nonprofit organization, the MACF will display hundreds of the finest pieces of American Classical and Colonial furniture as privately collected by Stanley Weiss, arranged in a number of exhibition clusters in our 10,000 sf. open display gallery. All museum items are also on display on our website with additional academic footnotes and sources, often with comparative examples.
We are available by e-mail for any questions and/or to schedule a gallery visit of our exhibition. Marc Beaulac, our Collection Archivist, will receive all inquiries. As a museum, we will be able to accession and deaccession to build the collection to the highest standard of Classicism within the American Furniture milieu.
MoCAF is located at 212 Fourth St. within the Brown/RISD campus footprint in Providence, RI, open to other institutions in the decorative arts field by appointment.
