Curators, collectors, appraisers, connoisseurs of furniture, and students of history, architecture, and the arts — as well as those just learning the fascination of stylistic trends in American furniture—will find this succinct handbook essential.
Styles are arranged chronologically from 1607 to the present and represent all thirty-five major furniture styles from Arts and Crafts to Windsor. Milo M.
