Seating Chart

john collard vickery (1890 – 1930)

Discover John Collard Vickery (j.c. vickery), a 19th-century British luxury goods merchant & art dealer. Known for exquisite jewelry, silver, and connections to prominent museums like Valletta & Genova.

The Frick Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, United States of America)

Experience the grandeur of The Frick Pittsburgh through its iconic collection of masterpieces like Millet’s The Gleaner within the opulent Gilded Age mansion Clayton and discover a legacy of art and industry worth exploring.

The butler at Clayton was in charge of creating a seating chart for each dinner party. According to etiquette, the guest of honor was given a prominent position, and married couples were not seated together in order to encourage new conversation. This seating chart could be lengthened and shortened according to the number of guests, just like the table in the Clayton dining room. The name cards that appear in the chart refer to actual guests of the Frick family; many of them are mentioned in Helen Clay Frick
