New England Furniture at Winterthur: Queen Anne and Chippendale Periods (Winterthur Book) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The variety of New England furniture--in form, in origin, and in ornament--is beautifully demonstrated in New England Furniture at Winterthur. Collectors, dealers, and curators have recently amassed an impressive array of new information on such topics as the introduction of English styles to New England, regional differences within New England cabinetmaking, and construction techniques of individual craftsmen. Their discoveries have led to this reassessment of the extraordinary collection at Winterthur. It comprehensively explores the furniture industry of New England, detailing the impact of urban communities, especially Boston, as well as the pervasiveness of regionalism, which has attracted fresh attention from scholars. The export trade and the role of specialists, particularly upholsterers, are also discussed. The book presents informative essays on each furniture form and detailed entries on 225 individual objects.
