About the Item

American Painted Furniture by Cynthia V.A. Schaffner and Susan Klein. New York: Clarkson Potter Publishers, 1997. Stated first edition hardcover with dust jacket. An examination of American painted furniture as an exciting part of American furniture history. The book illustrates that truly great furniture aspires also to be art in both form and decoration. During the 19th century, the new civilization in America fueled an artistic and manufacturing golden age. At that point American furniture was gilded, painted, stained, and ornamented in a variety of imaginative ways. The book is illustrated with more than 300 photographs, with a special section on painting and gilding techniques and a source directory. NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
