Candace Wheeler, nee Thurber (1827-1923) was one of America's first
woman interior and textile designers, credited with helping open
the field of interior design to women. Associated with the Colonial
Revival, Aesthetic Movement, and the Arts and Crafts Movement
throughout her long career, Wheeler was considered a national
authority on home decoration. Wheeler was a member of the
Associated Artists, along with Louis Comfort Tiffany. She founded
the Society of Decorative Art in New York City (1877), and created
similar artistic societies across the country. Wheeler is also
noted for designing the interior of the Women's Building at the
1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Her works include:
How to Make Rugs (1902), Principles of Home Decoration: With
Practical Examples (1903), The Annals of Onteora, 1887- 1914
(1914), Yesterdays in a Busy Life (1918) and The Development of
Embroidery in America (1921).
