In Episode 4 of his “Project 250” series, Bill Howze—owner and principal auctioneer at The Renaissance Auction Group—begins by discussing the Federalist Papers and their role in defining the structure of the U.S. government. He highlights Federalist Paper No. 51, specifically exploring the concept of checks and balances and how it relates to our current political climate.
Following the introduction, Howze provides an in-depth guide to Victorian-era revivalist furniture, focusing on the Gothic, Rococo, and Renaissance substyles. Using visual examples, he defines each style, outlines its history, and identifies the key characteristics that make each one unique.
