In this long-awaited tribute to women's painted furniture, author and artist Betsy Krieg Salm rediscovers a style of early American decorative art still largely unknown to curators, antique dealers, art historians, and the public. She documents the socioeconomic, cultural, and aesthetic history of the form, which includes such items as sewing and work boxes, face screens, and tables. Salm carefully chronicles the process itself, describing a selection of cabinetmakers, woods, varnishes, and paints, along with the specific tools and techniques used by women artists. Salm analyzes the styles, designs, and patterns of more than two hundred pieces. Treating these objects as documents of women's daily lives, she shows the close relationship between painted furniture motifs and those of needlework and other decorative arts of the period. Thanks to her scholarship, this art form may now receive the recognition it deserves in the broader genre of American women's art.Women's Painted Furniture presents a comprehensive collection of images, most of which are not available elsewhere. Primary sources include recipes, patterns, genealogies of artisans, chemical analyses of antiques, instructions in methods and technique, and the original, mainly English, sources of artistic inspiration for painters and needle workers.

Painted furniture is one of the most desirabe fields of antique collecting. This work explores the history and current uses of one of the liveliest areas of the decorative arts. The Comtesse de Dampierre persues her subject through France, Italy, England, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and the United States, including the American colonies where the Pennsylvania Dutch created some of the finest examples of the art. A glossary of terms and a chapter of tips on conservation and restoration makes this a useful handbook as well as an illustrated history of an enduring and ever-more-popular style.
This is a beautiful hand-painted roomy, large armoire. Each of the sides have a row of hooks for hanging necklaces and has a nice felt backing. These open and close with ease. This has seven drawers, including a top jewelry compartment under the lid. Notice the Queen Anne legs and the beautiful purplish hand-painted roses. The top also has a mirror for viewing. This is built very well and done in a cream finish. This one is one of the best and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
It measures 39 1/2" tall x 17" across x 12" deep.

MEDICINE BUDDHA 6 Inches H X 4.5 Long X 3 Inches Wide Standard Mold.
This magnificent statue is a superb representation of Medicine Buddha, the healer of physical and mental illness. It is a wonderful adaptation in the tradition of Tibetan Thangka painting. Made with cold cast resin with antique bronze finish and hand painted with color accents, the definition and the intricate details of this piece are simply breathtaking. The photograph does not do it justice. This statue is much more beautiful in person and is heavy for its size. It is truly a well-made product and an excellent representation of Asian Art, very much worthy of your art collection or as the centerpiece for your personal altar.
