INTRODUCTION
‘THE Miller family is an old New York State family. John
and George Miller came in 1640 from Maidstone, Kent,
England, and settled in Southold, East Hampton, L. I. Their
descendants were well-considered members of the community
and took part in communal and higher public administrative
affairs. Two of them, father and son, Burnett Miller and
Dr. Matthias Miller, were members of the Constitutional
Convention in 1777. The genealogy of the Miller family
tells us a good deal of old New York history and of the.
gradual intermingling of the Dutch families with the best
English stock of the state. During the 18th century, the
Miller family intermarried with pure Anglo-Saxon stock, but
in 1804 Judge Morris Smith Miller married Maria Bleecker,
a scion of one of the oldest Dutch families in the country.
His daughter-in-law, Cornelia Jones, was also of half English,
half old Dutch stock. The group of families engrafted on
the old Miller family tree has had an important position in
all public affairs.
It would be difficult for Miss Miller, the owner of the
present collection, to take her faithful bulldog for a walk
through the downtown district without using one of the streets
named after her ancestors. We may mention Bleecker Street,
Duane Street, Great Jones, Little Jones and Jones Streets, Har-
ing Street, Livingston Street, Van Dam Street, Rutgers Street,
and last, but not least, Cornelia Street, which bears Miss Miller’s
own first name—a name that has been borne by women of her
family for eight generations. These street names remind us of
the comfortable days when streets were not only waysand means
to get from somewhere to somewhere, of the days when one
could still have a walk in the city along paths overshadowed
with trees, in short, of the days when men and streets were
individualities, not numbers. To the average New Yorker,
“Little old New York” is something romantic and remote,
like the shades of the Gothic period or of the Italian Renais-
sance; to the eighth of the Cornelias, the past has a closer and
more vivid meaning. It is almost reality. One can under-
stand why she, as well as those nearest to her, has taken a
vivid interest in the furniture and ornaments of the past.
We wish to emphasize that not all the objects of this
sale are old family heirlooms. Miss Miller and her mother
have been ardent collectors. The collection, which is now be-
ing sold because they have given up their old family home
in Ninth Street, consists partly of family pieces, partly of
pieces which they acquired. The important family pieces are
designated as such, and are accompanied by affidavits, sworn
to by Miss Miller and her mother.
Nevertheless, there is a unity of spirit in the collection;
and this homogeneity extends even to things that do not
seem essentially Colonial, such as, for instance, the Oriental
rugs. Oriental rugs were, of course, imported into the United
States as early as the 18th century. Dried codfish from New
England found a ready market in the Mediterranean, and in
the return cargoes of the ships that took it there were not
only the celebrated Bilbao mirrors, but also ““T'urkey carpet”
for the well-to-do houses. Such a carpet is shown, for in-
stance, in the portrait of George Washington in the Pennsy]l-
vania Academy, where the Father of his Country is seen
standing on a fine Smyrna rug with a yellow ground. Miss
Miller’s rugs have none of the washed-out colors and lame
design that are now supposed to “go well” with period furni-
ture. They are gay in color and determined in design. Her
series of Baku rugs is enough to make the mouth water, it
one is interested in Oriental rugs that have been woven with-
out a side glance on the European market. Her collection
of samplers has also been chosen with taste and imagination.
It contains specimens from Holland and Vriesland, which are
somewhat more fanciful and exuberant than the well-behaved
Anglo-Saxon types.
The first part of the collection contains both furniture
and objects of art, while the second part will contain mainly
objects of art.
