英语词汇duncan phyfe的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Duncan Phyfe. Duncan Phyfe’s furniture workshop stood on the site of the present Hudson Terminal Building in New York City. The Scottish-born master craftsman had arrived in New York in 1783 at the age of 15 and later opened his own shop, changing his name from Fife to Phyfe. Duncan Phyfe and Sons employed more than 100 artisans at its height of popularity, but the master craftsman’s best work was done in the early period up until 1820, when he evolved his own style, using the cre- ations of Sheraton, Hepplewhite, and the Adam brothers as models. This work has become known as the Duncan Phyfe style, characterized by excellent proportions, graceful, curving lines, and beautifully carved ornamentation.
