This well-written, authoritative book, illustrated by 121 photographs and 191 drawings, is an in-depth text on the subject of primitive country furniture.

COUNTRY FURNITURE OF EARLY AMERICA . By H. Lionel Williams, A.S. Barnes & Co., NY, 1963/67.

In addition to the photographs on the various types of furniture are line drawings that review the construction techniques of much of the furniture depicted as well as information on hardware. The picture captions are in-depth and discuss the styles, woods, finishes, and construction techniques. Each chapter covers a furniture type: Introduction; Benches, Stools, Chairs, Settles, Couches, and Cradles; Tables and Stands; Boxes, Racks, Small Cupboards and Chests; Chests and Highboys; Cupboards, Dressers, Dry Sink, and Wardrobe; Desks and Secretary; and Index. Each of the many examples of the early American joiner’s and cabinetmaker’s art described in this book, has been selected for its rarity, excellence of design and construction, or because it is representative of a type or pattern, or a unique variation of style. This book is a useful reference for the craftsman, collector, or dealer. Finally, the historian and student of Americana will find in the study of these examples of pioneer art a rewarding insight into a colorful phase of our history.
