Among the most extensive volumes ever published on the diversity of country furniture and furnishings produced in between the 17th and 19th centuries in northeastern America. The very first area covers all furniture forms: beds, chests, cupboards, desks, boxes, floor coverings, lighting, mirrors, seating pieces, tables, stands, and clocks. The second section covers products connected to food preparation and eating made from wood, ceramics, metal, and glass, in addition to artworks, textiles and devices, grooming products, heating devices, tobacciana, toys, and writing implements. Composed by a kept in mind veteran collector and dealership. Essential reference.
