Lavishly illustrated in color and black-and-white, this early out-of-print book is a definitive pictorial guide to antique country furniture.
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COUNTRY FURNITURE by Candie Frankel, Smithmark Publishers, Inc./ Michael Friedman Publishing Group, Inc., NY, 1993 First Edition.
Here is “a comprehensive, fully illustrated guide to country furniture from around the world. Presented in an alphabetical format, it is an easy-to-use resource covering every aspect of country style from brass beds to plate racks to wicker furniture. Learn about the origins of country furniture in the British Isles and Europe and follow the developments as furniture makers in North America and Australia adapted country pieces to their new environments. The unique regional styles they created gave rise to some of country furniture’s most charming and sought-after pieces. Each entry…gives a detailed explanation of the piece’s history and uses, a full physical description, and tips on what features to look for when examining country furniture. Photographs and illustrations reveal the beauty and workmanship of country furniture from Mexico to Scandinavia.”
Special “Quality Checklists” and “Care Tips” provide the information you need to shop for and care for your country treasures. Frequent cross-references, sidebars that highlight fascination facts, a comprehensive chart of wood types, plus an extensive source section make the Encyclopedia of Country Furniture an invaluable reference for country furniture buffs from novice to expert. Discover such enduring country pieces as the New England pencil post bed, the British beehive chair, the Irish Stick Windsor, the Polish kredens or dresser, the Australian Cootamundra Jack Chair, and much more.” This most informative text belongs in the permanent reference library of the collector, dealer, or historian of antique country furniture.
