The Miller Family Collection reflects a multi-generational family vision of Americana: early New England furniture, historical porcelain, and silver imbued with the quiet dignity of rural craftsmanship. It is the kind of collection that could only have come together over decades of connoisseurship within the Miller family passed through generations.​

With deep family ties to some of the region’s most respected institutions and preservation movements, the Miller Family Collection stands as a testament to enduring values and generational preservation of American history and material culture. This collection is rich in provenance and personal family history, having stemmed from three generations of collectors, including the late Amy Bess Williams Miller (1912–2003), one of the most influential figures in 20th-century historic preservation and American scholarship. A founder of Hancock Shaker Village, she led the charge in the late 1950s to preserve the remaining buildings and collections of the Shaker community in Hancock, Massachusetts. ​

Highlights include Federal and Rhode Island Furniture, Tiffany & Co and Alan Stone Silver, Historical Staffordshire by Enoch Wood, Clews, Stevenson and Williams and Thomas Mayber celebrating the founding fathers and colonies.
