This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the eighteenth century, Anglo-Americans purchased an unprecedented number and array of goods. The Power of Objects in Eighteenth-Century British America investigates these diverse artifacts—from portraits and city views to gravestones, dressing furniture, and prosthetic devices—to explore how elite American consumers assembled objects to form a new civil society on the margins of the British Empire. In this interdisciplinary transatlantic study, artifacts emerge as key players in the formation of Anglo-American communities and eventually of American citizenship. Deftly interweaving analysis of images with furniture, architecture, clothing, and literary works, Van Horn reconstructs the networks of goods that bound together consumers in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston. Moving beyond emulation and the desire for social status as the primary motivators for consumption, Van Horn shows that Anglo-Americans' material choices were intimately bound up with their efforts to distance themselves from Native Americans and African Americans. She also traces women's contested place in forging provincial culture. As encountered through a woman's application of makeup at her dressing table or an amputee's donning of a wooden leg after the Revolutionary War, material artifacts were far from passive markers of rank or political identification. They made Anglo-American society.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of Rare American Furniture of the 17th and 18th Centuries, English Furniture of the Cromwellian, William and Mary, Queen Anne and Georgian Periods: Early American and English Cut Glass, Old Silver, Painted Iron Garden Furniture, an 18th Century American Black Marble Portal and Other Contemporaneous Objects Clock by Gillett of Manchester. Complementing these are two Chinese Chippendale Screens of great decorative merit, one in wall paper, the other covered with a richly toned printed Chintz. There are two interesting oak Refectory Tables, and with them several seventeenth century Chairs, Chests and smaller Tables. Although the painted Iron Garden Furniture is not very old, it is all patterned on fine eighteenth century models that are now so much in demand. A few pieces of Old Silver, two fine pairs of early Andirons, one of Boston Bell-metal, lustred Brass Lamps, a large Brass Aviary, Pewter and Forged Iron Torcheres, help to give a New England flavor to the collection. An eighteenth century American Black Marble Portal, with sculptured statuary enrichments, is most alluring in its simple lines and restraint of detail. There are among the specimens of American and English Glass most distinguished groups of Early Sandwich in quantities sufficiently large for Table Service - this, of course, is very nu usual indeed; also Bristol and Waterford Lustres, Compotiers similarly distinguished in their own way. One or two pieces of Early Bennington represent America among quite a gathering of beautiful Staffordshire Silver Resist and Lustred Pitchers, a contemporary figure of Franklin, fedg wood Candlesticks, Jardinieres and a unique Jelly Mold, painted on the inner mold so that the flowers can be seen through the jelly before it is served; the only known other in as perfect con dition as this, is on exhibition at South Kensington Museum, London. Two eighteenth century Chinese Lowestoft Cachepots, showing French influence, are more than delightful, and so are the Tea Services, one from the same source, the other from the Chamberlain - Worcester Kilns.
