Download or read book American Furniture 1620 to the Present written by Jonathan L. Fairbanks and published by Putnam Publishing Group. This book was released on 1981 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meant for both connoisseur and amateur, this is the definitive book in its field. During ten years of research, the authors examined furniture from coast to coast, in museums and private collections. American Furniture has a running text along with its identification captions, which places furniture in its social and historical context. In its 100 color pictures and 1300 black-and-white photos, the book frequently presents furniture in the rooms they were made for. There is extensive coverage of the masterpieces from the seventeenth century to the present, many of them newly photographed for this book, but coverage is by no means restricted to these pieces. This is the first book to encompass furniture "away from the mainstream"--Pieces made away from the furniture centers of New York, New England, and Pennsylvania. Thus, there is discussion of the furniture of the Southwest; furniture made in Dutch, Spanish, French, and Norwegian settlements; and furniture made in religious enclaves or as part of social or aesthetic reform movements. Also, line drawings reveal how antique furniture was made--and therefore how to tell a genuine antique from a forgery.--From publisher description.

Download or read book The Caroline Coleman Duke Collection of Early American Furniture and Objects of Art written by Anderson Galleries and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Caroline Coleman Duke Collection of Early American Furniture and Objects of Art: The Most Important and Largest Collection of Its Kind Ever Gathered in the South, Containing Fine Pieces in Walnut, Pine and Mahogany Gathered in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina The Anderson Galleries have now the pleasure of offer ing by public auction the important collection of early Ameri can furniture gathered by Mrs. Caroline Coleman Duke, of Richmond, Virginia. Mrs. Duke is of an old and well-known Southern family. She has been active for years in every en deavor to preserve the traditions, historic reminiscences and art treasures of the South, individually and in connection with the various patriotic and historic societies of Virginia. She has collected antique furniture all over the South, going as far as Georgia. Her collection is typically Southern, and brings to the Northerner a distinctive flavor of an unknown land. It is an unknown land indeed. Northerners go in in creasing numbers southward. The South, before the Civil War a land of romance to the Northerner, has again become the land of romance; and, by a strange irony of fate, the North erner tries to penetrate the spirit of this land and this romance, by patronizing the Hot Springs and White Sulphur resorts in Virginia, Pinehurst and Asheville in North Carolina, Augusta in Georgia, and in Florida the semi-tropical Winter resorts, efliciently run by Northerners in a Southern stage setting. The real South is veiled in a Fata Morgana, a mirage that conceals what it seems to make clear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
