1928. With 200 Illustrations. From the Foreword: By the practical
method here adopted of illustrating and treating the furniture of
each style by itself and in proper chronological order it becomes
easy to distinguish the characteristics of each furniture-group,
and so quickly to place, by the recognition of those qualities, any
piece of furniture that one sees. These consecutive styles soon lie
out in the mind like a map, upon any location in which a mental
finger can unhesitatingly be set down. Transition pieces then cause
no difficulty, for the characteristics of two styles in the one
piece are recognized, and the article is assigned to its natural
place between the two modes. To a degree that did not obtain in
England, there was sometimes here the persistence of certain
features of one style into the next, and this makes it all the more
necessary to understand which features belong to each. Contents:
The Colonial Styles: Jacobean or Stuart; William and Mary; Queen
Anne-Early Georgian; Chippendale. The Federal Styles: Hepplewhite,
Shearer, and Early Sheraton; American Directoire; American Empire.
Decoration: Interior Architecture; Decorative Accessories. Due to
the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may
be spotty or faded.
