Welcome to the Stanley Weiss Collection / The Stanley Weiss Study Center for American Classical Furniture

We have evolved over many decades as a collector/dealer’s enterprise, the Stanley Weiss Collection, to now founding a private nonprofit organization dedicated to preservation, study, and appreciation of American antique furniture through direct, hands-on access to our comprehensive collection.  This study center will allow the public to interact with 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 study center items are also on display here 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 an institution, we will be able to accession and deaccession to build the collection to the highest standard of Classicism within the American Furniture milieu

The Stanley Weiss Study Center for American Classical Furniture 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.
