  • American

Ralph Warren Burnham, an early-twentieth-century dealer and indefatigable self-promoter, built his trade on the buying and selling of eighteenth-century paneling, trim, housewares and furniture, yet earned his widest renown as a designer, restorer and reproducer of hooked rugs. From his shop at 126 High Street in Ipswich he employed skilled rug artists to repair antique examples or duplicate their patterns, while his restaurant in the "Old Manse" at 1 High Street added another layer to his local enterprise; both buildings endure today. - AsNotedIn
