The Morning Call: Six-decade-old mystery of Bethlehem antique dining table solved
July 31st, 2016 | Home
BETHLEHEM — A photograph of an elegantly set oak table hangs on the wall of the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts in Bethlehem.
With ball-and-claw feet and rope edging, the 18-foot table had been a statement piece belonging to Annie S. Kemerer, a collector who bequeathed her antique furnishings to start the museum. After she died in 1951, the museum was formed but the whereabouts of the table were lost to history — until now.
