Synopsis
This first part of this guide to turn-of-the-century reproduction furniture includes a survey of the technological, historical, and sociological events that shaped the American furniture industry between the 1880's and the 1930's. The second part provides information, photographs, and illustrations that enable collectors to assess a piece's quality and worth, and the third part provides the names and addresses of many of the companies that produced reproduction furniture. There is also a directory of museums and restorations where reproduction furniture can be seen and of libraries for further research, and a listing of cabinetmakers who are currently creating handmade pieces.

Publisher's Note
Emyl Jenkins provides the first accessible, user-friendly source of information on Reproduction furniture: how, when, where, and by whom these beautiful pieces were made. Includes a directory of museums and restorations where Reproduction furniture can be seen, and a listing of cabinetmakers who are currently creating handmade Reproduction furniture. Illustrations.
When American-made reproduction furniture burst on the scene at the turn of the century, it immediately became the day's most popular furniture. In Reproduction Furniture: Antiques for the Next Generation, Emyl Jenkins tells about the look-alike pieces created in the early 1900s, when there were no longer enough period antiques to go around. How and where was "the furniture for the people" made? What styles and designs did the manufacturers copy? How can you distinguish well-made and designed reproductions from quickly nailed together pieces? Here, for the first time in quick reference form is an extensive list of many manufacturers who made the furniture our ancestors bought new that is now 50, 75, and even 100 years old. There is also a directory of today's craftsmen who are making fine reproduction furniture, as well as a handy pricing guideline. Particularly important is the section on furniture styles. In these pages you will learn how to identify a Queen Anne-style chair and a Louis XV-style writing table. There is also an easy-to-read section on the new machines that made it possible to mass-produce reproduction furniture. This information is invaluable when distinguishing between furniture that "looks old" and that which really is old - period antiques.

Industry reviews
"I love this book, Emil Jenkins brings life, vitality, and a fresh approach to an era long overlooked and underappreciated. She explores the last frontier in twentieth century furniture, opening the door for a new generation of antiques collectors. Wonderful illustrations, solid research, and a refreshing attitude make this an essential book for antique dealers and collectors alike. 'Emily Jenkins' Reproduction Furniture' is a true rarity in the antiques field; it's a page turner."
