When walking around in New Hope and Lambertville, we take our celebrities in stride. You may have sat behind the renowned furniture craftsman Phillip Lloyd Powell in a booth at Sneddon’s or locked your bicycle next to his. Perhaps you stood near him at Rago’s Auction and even bid on one of his 1950’s walnut tables.
Phill Powell arrived in New Hope in 1947, with the dream of designing and handcrafting his own furniture and filled with the enthusiasm that still energizes his work and personality in the 50th year of his career.
