COLLECTOR’S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FURNITURE: VOLUME II – Furniture of the Twentieth Century
by Robert W. and Harriett Swedberg, Collector Books, KY, 1992.
This, second in a series, focuses on furniture of the 20th century. It includes a table of patents issued per year from 1836 to 1959.  Prices selected from furniture catalogs of the first decade of the twentieth century are listed by article and wood or finish, with an original price range for each piece or set.  Entries include a color illustration, caption and brief paragraphs of description of the term or type of article.  Beginning with Aniline Dye, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Artificial Graining, this catalog ends with Vanity Tables, Veneers, Wall Hangings and Wardrobes.  A value guide is appended.  Here is a book, full of informative illustrations and quick-reference features, from which the reader, the furniture collector, dealer, curator, auctioneer or other appraiser, will learn a good survey of the subject, easy identification processes, and relative values.
