Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A practical and engaging mid-century guide to identifying and understanding American antiques, this work draws on Ormsbee's widely read syndicated newspaper column. It covers furniture, china, glass, silver, prints, paintings, brass, pewter, and textiles, combining historical context with accessible advice for collectors and inheritors. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographic plates, the book emphasizes stylistic identification, period characteristics, and the cultural significance of domestic objects in American life. The book is in Very Good condition: clean, tight, and square, with gray cloth boards and black spine strip showing bright gilt lettering. Minor bumping at the lower corners and light shelf wear are present. The interior is clean and unmarked, with light, even toning typical of the period; illustrations remain sharp and well-preserved, and the binding is firm. The dust jacket is Good, complete but with significant edge wear, including chipping and losses along the top edge (notably at the spine and front panel), several tears, and visible tape repairs on the verso; creasing and rubbing are present, though the jacket remains intact and displays reasonably well. The copyright page states 1957 with Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 56-12015, and no indications of later printings or book club issue are present, supporting a first edition, first printing. Published during the postwar resurgence of interest in antiques and early Americana collecting, this volume reflects a period when accessible guides helped broaden the field to a wider audience. Thomas H. Ormsbee (1889-1967) was a prominent American antiques expert, writer, and editor best known for his syndicated newspaper column on antiques and decorative arts. A longtime authority on early American furniture and material culture, he authored numerous reference works that helped popularize antiques collecting in the mid-20th century. His accessible style made him especially influential among postwar collectors and hobbyists.
