The culmination of Henry Francis du Pont's lifelong vision and passion for collecting. Winterthur Museum houses the premier collection dedicated to American decorative arts. This book presents an incomparable selection of masterpieces chosen according the very principles espoused by du Pont himself: rarity, beauty, historical association, and provenance" The Winterthur website notes- Almost 60 years ago. Collector and horticulturist Henry Francis du Pont(1880–1969) opened his childhood home, Winterthur, to the public. Today, ... moreWinterthur 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 country place which has been loved and taken care of for three generations' DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9"x11.5&qu

Antique American Rococo Federal Empire Furniture Ceramics Glass Antiques & More
An Interesting Catalog- 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, ... morewhim, and caprice. Whether 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 and CONDITION NOTES: Hardcover. 9.5"x12.5" 267 pages, color and black& white illustrations. Minor wear.

Antique Connecticut Furniture & Colonial Craftsmen -1925 Limited Edition
Early Connecticut Artists& Craftsmen” By Frederic Fairchild Sherman. Published in New York; Privately Printed in 1925. Edition limited to 325 copies. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Interesting as an early compilation of decorative arts craftsmen by a noted collector/author. It seem unlikely the reader will find new information here-most of the names were culled from other early sources. The silversmith listings. For instance, are based on Curtis' book, the artists come from French. But as a compilation it retains an interest and charm, especially as you look at the categories Sherman chose-architects, silversmiths, clockmakers, cabinetmakers, potters and pewterers are all here, but so are comb makers, painters of ship pictures, silhouette cutters and ship builders.
