This delicate pattern was discovered in one of the most important and ground breaking examples of American domestic architecture, the Pope Villa in Lexington, Kentucky.
The house was designed in about 1815 by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, one of America’s first professional architects, and built for Senator John Pope and his wife Eliza, who was a sophisticated client and participated with Latrobe in the design. Latrobe’s fusion of classical sources and picturesque theory places the Pope Villa among the most important buildings of Federal America.
While the Latrobe or the Popes selected the rambunctious Pebbles and Flowerpots for the formal dining room, the Senator’s office required a more sedate and focused design. As is the case with other patterns of this genre as such springs, the Pope Villa Snowflake is well suited for more intimate, less public spaces.
