Description

Collectors Randy and Kelly Schrimsher began collecting American Classical decorative art in the late 1980s. Their notable collection now comprises over 100 pieces of furniture by some of the most celebrated cabinetmakers from across 5 key centres of Classical furniture production that emerged in the United States at the end of the 18th century: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, DC, with works by Duncan Phyfe, Charles - Honoré Lannuier, Isaac Vose, William Hancock, the Finley Brothers, Anthony Quervelle and Joseph Barry. Wonderful examples of objects by all these makers and their shops are explored by city to illustrate regional varieties and workshop collaborations. In addition to the 100 full - page colour illustrations of different pieces of furniture the book features nearly 90 additional comparative illustrations covering pattern books, designs, prints and historic views, plus photos of chair legs, supports, capitols, gilding and a pictorial glossary. Arranged across approximately 4 - 5 appendices, this provides an important source of new information for scholars.
