Publisher: Taschen; 2003) This is a ... morehuge. Very heavy and high quality art book filled with descriptions of life in ancient Egypt and with absolutely superb full color plates. It is a presentation quality publication. The world’s first strike took place in 1152 B.C. We do not know how many workers laid down their tools, but we do know why they did so. They had not been paid their rations of grain and oil, and so the tomb workers in the Valley of the Kings went on strike. In modern times, the ancient history of Egypt has only been about its rulers and monumental architecture. You will certainly find the Pyramid of Cheops and the Temples of Ramesses and Hatshepsut in this book. But what you will also find is an account of a long-neglected side of Egyptian history: the people’s everyday lives. How did they picture the world? What sort of relationship did men and women have to each other? How did they spend their leisure time? And why did they develop such a perfect technique of preserving the body after death in the form of a mummy; as light as a blown egg and as hard as a statue” The authors investigate stimulating questions and dare to take a fresh look at an ancient past that seems much more real to us from this new perspective. Rose-Marie Hagen was born in Switzerland and studied history as well as the Romance languages and literature. After longer study periods in France and Florence. She began lecturing at different institutions including the American University in Washington, D.C. Rainer Hagen was born in 1928 in Hamburg, and graduated in literature and theatre studies in Munich. He went on to work for radio and TV where his latest position has been as chief editor for Northern Germany’s public broadcasting service.

ANTIQUE NEW ENGLAND QUEEN ANNE CHIPPENDALE AMERICAN FURNITURE at WINTERTHUR
New England Furniture at Winterthur. Queen Anne and Chippendale Periods” By Nancy E. Richards& Nancy Goyne Evans. Published by Winterthur in 1997. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: A thorough catalog of the New England Queen Anne and Chippendale furniture at Winterthur. Replacing Joseph Downs' 1952 classic catalog of this collection. In addition to new photographs and descriptions, and some new attributions, there is much additional furniture which was purchased after 1952. The catalog is divided into sections covering-seating furniture-bedsteads-tables-stands and fire screens-dressing tables& high chests-chests of drawers, bureau tables& chests on chests-desks-looking& dressing glasses-case studies, or, furniture that is not what it seems) The Winterthur website notes- Almost 60 years ago. Collector ... moreand horticulturist Henry Francis du Pont(1880–1969) opened his childhood home, Winterthur, to the public. Today, Winterthur is the premier museum of American decorative arts, with an unparalleled collection of nearly 90,000 objects made or used in America between about 1640 and 1860. The collection is displayed in the magnificent 175-room house, much as it was when the du Pont family lived here, as well as in permanent and changing exhibition galleries. Winterthur is set amidst a 1,000-acre preserve of rolling meadows and woodlands. Designed by du Pont, its 60-acre naturalistic garden is among America’s best, with magnificent specimen plantings and massed displays of color. Graduate programs and a preeminent research library make Winterthur an important center for the study of American art and culture. In his later years, du Pont wrote: I sincerely hope that the Museum will be a continuing source of inspiration and education for all time, and that the gardens and grounds will of themselves be a country place museum where visitors may enjoy as I have, not only the flowers, trees and shrubs, but also the sunlit meadows, shady wood paths, and the peace and great calm of a coun

2 VOLUME SET ON ANTIQUE AMERICAN FURNITURE - EDGAR G. MILLER CLASSIC
An American Furniture Classic- American Antique Furniture. A Book for Amateurs” By Edgar G. Miller. Jr. Published in New York by New York Dover Publications in 1966. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: A re-issue of the first trade edition of this classic text. Published in 1937. Perhaps classic collection of pictures is a better description, as what Miller set out to do was create an encyclopedic survey of American furniture forms and styles down to“about 1840” In this he succeeded, drawing heavily on many private collections in the Baltimore area as well as other archives. Semowich notes that“it is still considered a standard reference book” whose“usefulness lies in its photographs” and Homer Eaton Keyes, editor of the Magazine Antiques, praised the book in its Foreword as a good tool to acquiring“the fundamental knowledge ... moreessential to a correct stylistic analysis of any reasonably pure example of old-time American furniture” Keyes went on to tackle one problem with all the pictorial surveys of the era in one of his better flights of literary fancy. Noting that“Not without some guile, I believe, Mr. Miller parades a thoroughly democratic furniture group in which high aristocrats of cabinetmaking consort amicably with honest bourgeois types, and even an occasional upstart of uncertain lineage and doubtful integrity is tolerated if his outward demeanor conforms to a certain accepted minimum of propriety” Nutting has been criticized for the same failing, but not in such velvet-trimmed words. DESCRIPTION: Softcover. 2 volumes. 8”x10.5” 1,106 pages, 2,115 black& white illustrations. CONDITION NOTES: The covers have some wear and rubbing(please see the photos. Above and below) The books themselves have some minor wear, but otherwise are clean and nice, with tight bindings.

Shop practices and the evolving craft practices of furniture makers through the recreation of two shops, the rural handcraft tradition of Samuel Wing of Sandwich in 1800 and the mechanized operation of a New Bedford or Fall River chair factory in 1850. The exhibition includes approximately 75 pieces of furniture from private and institutional collections, tools and equipment from the Samuel Wing cabinet shop(now owned by Sturbridge Village) and selected household furnishings depicting interiors in southeastern Massachusetts during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Extensively researched throughout the United States and the British Isles.

While the Scottish-born Duncan Phyfe has always been recognized as one of the premier makers of Federal furniture, Mary Ann Apicella illuminates the community of craftsmen active in and around Atlantic coast style-centers during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By separating English antecedents and American design trends from those identified by the ... moreauthor as uniquely Scottish in form, ornament, and construction, the particular hallmarks of Scottish aesthetics and craftsmanship become visible. To illustrate these findings, individual chapters devoted to chests of drawers, wardrobes and linen presses, sideboards, desks and secretaries, tables, chairs, and clocks, offer a comparative study of items.

Knopf in 1970. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: An essential work. And one of the classic books showing how to analyze and understand a piece of furniture. It is Kirk's gift to be able to see furniture and to communicate his understanding of the form and ornament to others. This introduction remains the best guide to the essential skill of learning to look" Ames& Ward) John T. Kirk is one of the preeminent furniture historians of the 20th century. Winterthur, which holds some of his research papers, notes- John T. Kirk is a noted scholar specializing in American furniture and the Shakers. His father was a builder and most enjoyed the work of restoring old houses. ... moreThis stimulated John Kirk’s interest in old buildings and antiques, and eventually he even restored a couple of old homes himself. Kirk became a journeyman cabinetmaker and studied furniture design. He then received his bachelor’s degree from Earlham College and earned a master’s degree in art history from Yale University. He was a professor at Boston University for many years, and retired as emeritus professor of art history. Mr. Kirk has been a consultant curator for several historic house museums and a director of the Rhode Island Historical Society. He was the curator for three exhibits of Shaker furniture and materials and one on Connecticut furniture. He has written many articles and a number of books, mostly focusing on regional differences in American furniture, the relationship between English and American furniture, and Shaker design. He also hosted programs on American furniture for public television. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9"x12" 208 pages, 204 black& white illustrations, dust jacket.

Published by the Harvard University Press in 1941. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The first edition of this well illustrated and important catalog of this major collection of American furniture. Silver and accessories. This beautifully printed volume, set in Monotype Bembo and with full-tone collotype illustrations, established a high visual standard for furniture catalogs that was emulated by Joseph Downs in the 1950s and Morrison Hecksher in the 1980s. The catalog includes 125 examples of high-style furniture, the vast majority from Massachusetts ... moreand Rhode Island, although some superb Philadelphia objects are included. These objects are not included in Richard Randall's 1965 catalog. Karolik's musings, As I Reflect upon the Collection" provide a fascinating look at the mind of an idiosyncratic collector" Ames& Ward. Maxim Karolik(1893-1963) was a Russian opera singer. Immigrant, and art collector and benefactor who cut a swath through the Boston and American collecting scenes. The magnificent bequests of American furniture and paintings he and his wife made to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts earned them a place in the pantheon of Boston's patrons of the arts, and their rediscovery and championing of the works of Fitz Hugh Lane and Martin Johnson Heade, along with 19th century American fine and folk artists earned them a place in American collecting lore. The Karoliks deflected such honors, and in an open letter to the MFA's Director, Maxim Karolik declared"We are not'Patrons of Art' or'Public Benefactors. We refuse to accept these banal labels. We accept with pleasure only one label: Useful' Semowich 1352. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9.25"x12" 366 pages

MUSEUM OF EARLY SOUTHERN DECORATIVE ARTS - ANTIQUE AMERICAN FURNITURE & ANTIQUES
Southern Perspective. A Sampling from the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts” Edited by Gary J. Albert. Published by MESDA in 2005. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: A wonderful survey of 40 objects- furniture. Ceramics, silver, paintings, from the MESDA collection. Out of print as hardcover. MESDA's website notes- MESDA is the realization of a vision shared by two extraordinary individuals: Frank L. Horton and his mother Theodosia"Theo" L. Taliaferro. Who were pioneering antiques dealers and collectors who dedicated most of their lives to raising awareness of and appreciation for domestic objects made in the South. During the first half of the twentieth century, southern antiques were mostly dismissed by scholars and ignored by collectors. A movement to challenge the existing attitudes began in 1949 ... morewith the first Williamsburg Antiques Forum at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, which included a seminal session that called attention to the lack of information about southern craftsmanship. The intense study of specifically southern antiques began with the 1952 Williamsburg Antiques Forum, which coincided with the first definitive exhibition of southern furniture, Furniture of the Old South, 1640- 1820 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and culminated with the opening of MESDA in 1965. The results of the museum's efforts to fulfill its mission have extended well beyond the exhibition of the collection to include groundbreaking field research programs, award-winning publications, a respected research center and decorative arts library, and exceptional educational programs such as the Graduate Summer Institute cosponsored by MESDA and the University of Virginia.

The auction at Sotheby's New York is expected to generate fierce competition between aficionados. Adolf Meyer and his wife Ginger began to collect in the 1950s. They had just moved into a house furnished by Ginger's aunt(in Victorian style) when Ginger stopped off in Birmingham, Michigan, at the antique store of one Jes Pavey, an American furniture enthusiast. He saw some fake antique fire irons in the back of the car and pointed them out. What can I do? asked Mrs Meyer, horrified. Pavey sold her a genuinely old set. Two days later, she rang Pavey and said, Would you hurry over? he recalls. She said: Mr Meyer is here and getting ready to go to the office. Come over and drive in the driveway, so he can't get out. Before Pavey left, he'd been commissioned to redo the house in American style. Meyer told me, When you find something you think fits in this house, we'll discuss it and send you a cheque. He wanted the best. According to the Meyers' grandson, Pavey was 99 per cent responsible for the collection. Adolf Meyer was bor

American Fancy. Exuberance in the Arts 1790-1840” By Sumter Priddy. Published by the Chipstone Foundation. And the Milwaukee Art Museum, in 2004. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Between 1790 and 1840. Millions of middle-class Americans throughout the nation encountered"Fancy" they rode in a Fancy sleigh, dressed up in Fancy clothes, blew their noses in Fancy handkerchiefs, bought goods at Fancy shops, ate at Fancy tables on Fancy dishes, and slept under Fancy coverlets. Not just fancy but Fancy: an early nineteenth-century cultural phenomenon born out of new and enlightened ways of seeing, understanding, and responding to the surrounding world. Fancy expressed itself in just about everything that pleased the senses; generally colorful and boldly patterned, it elicited delight, awe, surprise, whim, and caprice. ... moreWhether experienced in the form of painted surfaces, kaleidoscopic quilts, or imaginary landscapes, Fancy engaged the emotions and expanded the imagination, expressing the core of human fancy. American Fancy offers an appropriately fantastic experience of this uniquely American sensibility. Author Sumpter Priddy has assembled and produced an original oeuvre in the field of decorative arts, going beyond the traditional modes of furniture analysis, which concentrate on style, history, and construction, to consider the perceptual and emotional responses through which the original users and viewers would have interacted with these material things. To this end he employs the interpretive methods used in the fields of literature, fine arts, philosophy and even psychology. Rich, fully illustrated, wondrously researched, and bound in a cover that imitates a typical Fancy pattern, American Fancy does its marvelous subject true. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9.5"x12.5" 267 pages, color and black& white illustrations. CONDITION NOTES: The covers have some light wear and a ding to the upper side on the rear cover. The book interior is clean and nice. With a tight binding. OVERS

BENJAMIN GINSBURG COLLECTION -ANTIQUE AMERICAN FURNITURE & AMERICANA ANTIQUES
An Interesting Auction Catalog- The Contents of Benjamin Ginsburg. Antiquary, including the Property of Cora Ginsburg” The catalog to an auction held in New York by Christies on October 14-15th. 1983. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Fine American furniture and accessories. Especially English, European and export ceramics, from this noted antiquarian firm. A March 27, 1983, New York Times story reported- For 50 years the sign above the door at 815 Madison Avenue- Ginsburg& Levy- conveyed to all antiques enthusiasts in pursuit of American furniture and European ceramics that treasures lay beyond. In 1976 the sign was changed with the removal of the Levy name from the lintel on the Georgian facade of the five-story establishment, signaling a corporate divorce and the end of a family alliance. It was then that Benjamin ... moreGinsburg and Bernard Levy, sons of John Ginsburg and Isaac M. Levy, cousins who founded the antiques concern in 1901, officially parted company. One of the nation's oldest and most respected antiques concerns had ended. Ben sort of lost heart when the business broke up, recalled Cora Ginsburg, his wife, a dealer in period textiles. She was surrounded by packing cases and a crew of young workers who had come to organize the removal this week of the contents of the shop which is at 68th Street. She explained that Mr. Ginsburg's failing health, which has kept him away from the shop for about two years, made him decide to close the business and auction everything in it. I don't like selling the collection, Mr. Ginsburg conceded in a telephone interview the other day. But I can't take care of it anymore. The 78-year-old dealer reminisced about the family business which he joined in 1921 after studying engineering and deciding against it as a career. We weren't as specialized then, Mr. Ginsburg commented. We always dealt in European things of good quality. Ginsburg& Levy moved up to 68th Street in 1926, transforming its new home into a Georgian showcase, insta
