Description

From the Introduction:
"Decades of research into18th century American furniture have produced a finely tuned interpretive structure of designing construction characteristics that suggests places of origin, narrow time spans and even specific makers and schools. Comparison of anonymous or incompletely identified furniture to these indexes or sets of values allows one to postulate dates and places of manufacture tor this missing information.”
This book is an esoteric look at the fine details of furniture made for the Cadwalader family of Philadelphia 1769-1771 by prominent artisans of that time & place.
