A Visual Dictionary of Decorative and Domestic Arts provides a
common and unambiguous vocabulary for the parts of handcrafted
decorative, domestic, and artistic items. Terminology for a broad
array of object types is presented alongside original 3D
illustrations that facilitate objective referencing. The reference
enhances learning, labeling, and discussing various craft items in
great physical detail. Sixty-four 3D graphic illustrations provide
an effective visual format for identifying the vocabulary/location
of the parts on individual objects. The dictionary is divided into
five major sections: -Decorative Objects such as a basket, jar/jug,
flatware -Domestic Furnishings such as a bed with bedding,
upholstered chairs, tables -Artistic Works and Tools such as books,
prints, paintings, photographs, and sculpture -Jewelry Adornment
Items such as earrings, necklaces, pins, and watches -Accessory
Articles such as a hat, pipe, comb, and fan The thoroughness of the
annotations makes this volume an essential tool for museum curators
and conservators, librarians, connoisseurs, buyers and dealers;
artists and crafts persons, collectors, designers, registrars and
anyone with an interest in visual history.
