Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of Rare and Beautiful Early American and Colonial Furniture, an Extraordinary Gathering of Hooked Rugs and Other Contemporaneous Treasures Collected During Many Years by the Amateur Mrs. F. H. Davis of Flushing, L. I: To Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale for Account of the Owner on the Afternoons Herein Stated It has seldom fallen to my lot to pass under review such a characteristic collection of Early American furniture and domes tic objects as that belonging to Mrs. F. H. Davis, of Flushing, L. I. Since her earliest years, it seems that Mrs. Davis has col lected, and as her chief regard has always been for the old - time things of our ancestors, it has followed, as a natural consequence, that she has accumulated, in the many years lying between, an extraordinarily large number of Early American things which, thanks to her knowledge and unerring judgment, are beyond all question or cavil as to their genuineness. Colonial is what these objects are somewhat loosely termed, but this name is correctly applied only to furniture, etc., made during the first three-quar ters of the eighteenth century, either in this country or across the ocean, and Early American will be found to be a much more truthful, as well as judicious, method of naming a large portion of them. It will be noticed that a large majority of Mrs. Davis's possessions were procured in New England, a fact mainly due to the circumstances that she is a Maine woman born and bred, and that the field of her activities has lain chiefly in those North eastern States we are accustomed to know as New England. Particularly striking, for instance, will be found the gathering of early Hooked Rugs. Owing to their fascinating colors, often due to the dyeing of the yarn by the native Indians, the naivete of their design and their admirable wearing qualities, these domestic rugs have lately come into high favor. There are those still liv ing, by the way, Whose girlish energies were largely devoted to the hooking of these rugs, but all of those here offered date from the beginning of the nineteenth century.

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.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ...designated by the number of their slats.4hus, "three back," "four back," and "five "back "--the one just shown being a four-back. Figure 107 is a five-back chair in the pattern most often found in New England, dating early in the eighteenth century; and as such chairs are somewhat hard to find, they are more highly prized than those with a smaller number of slats. It belongs to Mr. Meggat. Figure 108 shows a five-back belonging to Mr. Frank C. Gillingham, of Germantown, Pennsylvania, which represents the Southern type of this chair. The arms are high and cut much like those of the wainscot chairs, and the chair is original throughout. Figure 109 is still another slat-back, belonging to Mr. C. J. Burnell, of Hartford, Connecticut, which has cut instead of turned uprights, and belongs to a later date. The hollow cut in the top slat accommodates the head and relieves the very upright position re quired by the straightness of the back. The brass terminals are new. Such chairs as these may have been referred to in a Yorktown inventory of 1745: "6 Ribed back chairs 1." Figure 109. Slat-back, about 1760-70. Another form of chair which had survived from an earlier period was the banister-back chainf a very early example of one, belonging to the Connecticut Historical Society, is shown in Figure no. It wifl be seen at a glance that it is a modification of the cane chairs, combining both the Flemish and Spanish styles in the back, while the under part is decidedly Spanish. The four spindles, curved on the front side and flat on the back, take the place of the cane or leather back, and the carved underbrace of the cane chairs is supplanted by a simple turned one. Figure 110. Banister-back, 1710-20....
