About this title

Synopsis

Clearly a labor of love and a definitive reference. The attribution of chairs as Shaker and the association of a chair with a particular community is based on the authors' consideration of oral tradition, provenance, place of discovery, visual examination, evaluation of design features, historic photographs, and information found in written sources. Abundantly illustrated with carefully chosen photos and purposeful drawings. 9x12" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
