The rod has been turned to resemble bamboo, though the turnings on either side of the painted black rings are less pronounced than other pieces in the suite. Both ends of the curtain rod are decoratively carved, resembling the feet of the desk, dressing table, and chests of drawers in the set. The carved bulbs of these ends are, however, lower profile than the other carved feet and the curtain rod?ÇÖs ends are more pointed. The curtain rod is constructed from at least two pieces of wood joined with a dowel roughly twenty inches from the left end. This dowel is clearly visible, as the two pieces it connects are separating. Additionally, the rod has a minor split on its right side. The curtain rod is attached to the wall with two brass brackets adorned with decorative floral elements facing into the room. The left bracket is, however, missing its brass flower. Fingerprints are visible in the rod?ÇÖs varnish."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/25/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"None found"},{"label":"Basis of Materials","value":"The brass bracket is visibly supporting the curtain rod.

Vaughn, who advertised primarily as an upholsterer. Vaughn was active in Boston from about 1862-about 1874. City directories identify him as an upholsterer employed by Henry A. Turner or Henry A. Turner & Co. from 1862-1867. He is listed under his own name from 1868-1869 and under John J. Vaughn & Co. from 1870-1873. In 1872 and 1873, Charles J. Blaney is listed as a partner in the firm. Some of the city directory listings for John J. Vaughn & Co. state that the company manufactured furniture as well. It is possible, however, that Vaughn only retailed the set and that it was made elsewhere; the faux bamboo treatment is commonly associated with New York City.  John J. Vaughn relocated to Haverhill, Massachusetts, sometime between 1874 and 1876. An 1877 Haverhill newspaper includes an advertisement for J. J. Vaughn, Interior and Exterior Decorator. In 1880 he is listed as a commission merchant in Haverhill."},{"label":"Maker","value":["Blaney, Charles J., upholsterer, interior decorator, and furniture retailer, active about 1872-1873","John J.
