Description:
Lavishly illustrated with more than 500 black-and-white photographs, this in-depth book provides a definitive survey of the regional characteristics of American Windsor furniture manufactured between 1730 and 1840.
THE WINDSOR STYLE IN AMERICA - VOLUMES I AND II by Charles Santore. Courage Books 1981/1997.
Featuring new discoveries, an expanded list of Windsor makers, and more than 500 photographs and illustrations, this thoroughly researched and documented book consolidates Volumes I and II of the previously published books by Santore.
In this text, the author illustrates precisely how each type of American Windsor evolved, how each fits the style of its time, the fine details which make one piece superior to another, and how the reader can use this information to date, evaluate, and determine the origin of Windsor furniture. Superb examples of Windsor furniture pictured and described include chairs, Windsor tables, settees, candlesticks, cradles, and even Windsor children’s furniture, scaled-down furniture, and other forms of Windsor style furniture. Chair types pictured and discussed include continuous-arm chairs, airy bow-backs, eccentric side-back chairs, comb-back, low-back, rod-back, fan-back, and writing-arm chairs. There is also a section on paint surfaces, authentication, fakery, and reproductions. This is the most complete authoritative text on the subject, and a treasured volume, which belongs in the permanent library of the serious collector, dealer, or historian of early American furniture.
Oversize 10.5" x 10.5" hardback with dust cover in near-new condition. 506 pages.
