Author, George Michael. Contains over 200 black and white illustrations. "The Federal Period, spanning from 1770 to 1830, is generally thought to have been the time of America's finest design and craftsmanship. It was the last era of hand manufacture and no other period in American history has produced work of such high quality across a broad spectrum. In this study of important contributions in the areas of furniture, ceramics, glass, pewter, silver and timepieces, George Michael selects and discusses representative work of the major designers and craftsmen. Appropriately illustrated with photographs taken in museums and private homes this collectors' book includes a price list of major pieces and explores in detail the work of artisans such as Hepplewhite, Sheraton, Phyfe, and Revere, as well as others who while less well known, made distinctive contributions to this quintessential American age." The spine is tight and straight, the pages are clean and has no tears, no highlights. Total 239 pages. The overlook Press, publishers. This book is out of print. A very good find for the book lover who loves antiques and furniture, etc. One can learn a lot by reading this book!
