ANTIQUE SCOTTISH FURNITURE - SCOTLAND CHAIR TABLE CHEST SOFA CUPBOARD & More!
Scottish Vernacular Furniture” By Bernard D. Cotton. Published in New York by Thames& Hudson in 2008. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Heavily illustrated with 450 color photos and 100 additional black and white figures. This catalog offers a complete and authoritative study available of regional furniture design and use in Scotland.

In writing this book, Bernard Cotton and his wife Gerry made it a priority to see pieces in their contexts, to meet the people who used them, and to understand how they were made. The story ... moreof their quest is itself an adventure, and the objects he photographed often represent the life and death of a community, the vital relics of a vanished culture.

Off the Long Gallery at the top of the house there is a fascinating exhibition which touches on the period between 1922 and 1948, with many family photographs as well as photographs of the building works which took place during that time. Mr and Mrs Pearson, followed by their daughter Veronica Tritton, spent more than 60 years carefully restoring Parham and filling it with a sensitively chosen collection of beautiful old furniture, paintings and textiles, also acquiring items originally in the house. There is a particularly important collection of early needlework. What they created at Parham is a rare survival of mid 20th Century connoisseurship within a major Elizabethan house. Now owned by a charitable trust, Parham House and Gardens are surrounded by some 875 acres(3.54

Maxim Karolik. 1893-1963” By Brian O'Doherty. Published in Boston by the Museum of Fine Arts in 1963. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: 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. A December 22. 1941 article in Time noted- With the aid of a Russian-born tenor, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts has acquired a million-dollar gift in the form of a collection of its own choosing. The museum, already the possessor of one of the best public collections of early American arts and crafts, has for six years been helping Patron Maxim ... moreKarolik pick up the best American antiques in the 13 original colonies. Not very successful as a tenor, furrow-browed, gesticulating Vocalist Karolik 13 years ago married Martha Codman, a member of one of Boston's best families, whose personal fortune was estimated at five million. Installed in a marble mansion in Newport, Karolik, inspired by the workmanship displayed in his wife's inherited family relics, decided to make early American antiques his hobby. Badly needing advice, he made a deal with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts: they should guide and direct him in making purchases, he would present the completed collection to the museum. Never had any of Boston's own sons so delighted her museum. Armed with Mrs. Karolik's introductions to some of the oldest families, the museum's Decorative Arts Curator Edwin James Hipkiss and Collector Karolik knocked on doors from New Hampshire to Georgia, rooted out many an old desk, clock, silver tankard, portrait. While Curator Hipkiss pointed out good and bad features, Collector Karolik asked questions, absorbed information.

ANTIQUE AMERICAN COLONIAL FURNITURE -ISRAEL SACK 1932 COLLECTION
An Interesting Auction Catalog- One Hundred Important American Antiques” The catalog to an auction held by Anderson Galleries in New York on January 9th. 1932. Sale 3940. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Colonial and Early Federal Furniture. Silver and Porcelains of Distinguished Provenance by and attributed to Chapin, Cowell, Dummer, Frothingham, Goddard, Gostelow, Hurd, Le Roux, McIntire, Phyfe, Randolph, Revere, Savery, Seymour, Soumaine, Titcomb, The Townsends, Whittemore, Wilder, The Willards, acquired from notable collections by Israel Sack" A 1998 New York Times article noted- The history of Israel Sack Inc. is a rags-to-riches tale. Israel Sack. An immigrant cabinetmaker from Lithuania, opened an antiques store on Charles Street in Boston in 1905. He was attracted to America's early urban furniture, the ... morefancy mahogany and walnut chests, highboys and chairs made in Boston, Newport, R.I. Salem, Mass. New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. He practically invented the field that is known today as Americana. When he started, American furniture was not a collectible form, his son Albert recalled. There were no shows, or any American furniture collections in museums. In the 1920's, Israel Sack moved to New York and started to amass first-rate furniture, and collectors who could afford it. Israel Sack was a brilliant marketer. He sponsored research[and] lectured widely. In the early part of this century, when American society was enamored of English antiques, he persuaded people to pay a premium for pieces made in America. You can tell American furniture by its accent, he liked to say. He argued that American furniture has its own qualities; instead of ornamentation and gilding, it has form, line, proportion, craftsmanship and rarity. He declared it an art form. From the 1920's until his death in 1959, Israel Sack sold to the top collectors of Americana: Henry Ford, Henry Francis duPont, Mabel and Francis Garvan, and Charles K. Davis, president of the Remington Arms Company

Published in Boston by Houghton Mifflin and Company in1924. Revised 3rd edition. Limited to 515 copies. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The first book on this subject. Initially published in 1891. As the Wards point out(Ames& Ward) Lyon introduced many techniques used by later researchers, including the use of estate and inventory records, newspaper advertisements and cabinetmaker's price books, and he also traveled to England to investigate the origins of his beloved 17th century New England furniture. A pioneering study which is still useful. Stillinger concludes- Lyon's conclusions about the homes of the forefathers have held up startlingly well. The Colonial Furniture ... moreof New England' was so carefully researched and thoughtfully crafted that it remains a standard reference today-an extraordinary accomplishment considering the sophisticated research and technological aids available to the modern student of furniture. No other early furniture scholar's work has the same continuing validity. Dr. Lyon once told an acquaintance that in his medical practice his goal was always to get back to first causes.

AMERICAN ANTIQUE PHILADELPHIA EMPIRE PERIOD FURNITURE & CABINETMAKERS
Philadelphia Empire Furniture” By John William Boor. With Allison, Jonathan, Christopher, Peter Boor. Published in Hanover by the University Press of New England in 2006. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: This volume looks closely for the first time at Philadelphia Empire furniture and the development of decorative arts in Philadelphia between 1800 and 1840. The authors explore Neo-Classicism. Contemporary history of Philadelphia, the emergence of Greek-Revival architecture, and the cabinetmakers of Philadelphia Empire furniture. At the beginning of the 19th century Greek-inspired architecture gained popularity in Philadelphia and the city became known for its classically-inspired monumental buildings. Newly designed structures of ancient inspiration were decorated with classical furniture that became the prevailing style ... morein private homes as well as public buildings. The arrival of immigrant craftsmen from Europe in the early 19th century and their subsequent collaboration with American furniture makers produced highly sophisticated Empire designs. Neither French nor English, the designs incorporated purely American elements and became known as American Empire. Nineteenth-century Philadelphia Empire craftsmen were particularly well-known for their extensive motif carving, which often has a fluid, three-dimensional character. Philadelphia Empire Furniture' illustrates in color and describes in detail hundreds of Philadelphia decorative art forms from this period, including wood types, dimensions, and maker(if known) Chapters are dedicated to each of the following forms: card tables. Platform pedestal tables, pier tables, worktables, sofas, chairs, sideboards, secretaries, chests, bedsteads, looking glasses, clocks, and other decorative elements. A separate chapter is devoted to the previously unpublished sketchbook of accomplished craftsman Anthony G. Quervelle.

SUPERB ANTIQUE AMERICAN FURNITURE - EDDY NICHOLSON COLLECTION - CHRISTIE'S 1995
An Interesting Auction Catalog- The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy Nicholson” The catalog to an auction held by Christie's in New York on January 27-28th. 1995. Sale 8082. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The auction sale of the premier Americana collection of the 1980s. Nicholson made headlines in the 1980s when he broke record after record buying premier pieces of American colonial and federal furniture and related decorative arts at auction. And then made headlines again when he sold it all. The catalog Christie's produced for the sale is a sumptuous hardcover, packed so full of color illustrations and folding color plates that it almost explodes right off the bookshelf. Nicholson's 2011 New York Times obituary relates- Eddy G. Nicholson. A spark plug of a man who was the son of a factory worker in Sherman, ... moreTex. began collecting early American artifacts in the early 1980s, flush from his recent success in high finance. His blunt, hard-driving style unnerved some buyers steeped in Old World collector traditions of propriety, art scholarship and, above all, privacy. For one thing, he would sit there with an auction paddle, which was unusual, said John Hays, the deputy chairman of Christie’s America, who became a friend. Important buyers usually sent surrogates or bid by phone, he explained. And if he wanted something, he added, nothing could stop him. Mr. Nicholson helped push prices to unprecedented heights. Bidding on an 18th-century Philadelphia Chippendale wing chair at Sotheby’s in 1986, he made the first bid at $400,000, and kept hoisting his paddle high while imperceptible signals from competitors around the room(an earlobe tug, a crossing of arms) drove the sale price to $1.1 million, then a record for American furniture, according to an account in The New York Times. Mr. Nicholson got his wing chair. In 1980 Mr. Nicholson was president of Congoleum, a publicly traded conglomerate involved in military contracting, auto supplies and floor covering, when he and a fello

The Tuttle Muddle: An Investigation of a Kentucky Case-on-Frame Furniture Group” By Marianne P. Ramsey& Diane C. Wachs. Published by the Headley-Whitney Museum in 2000. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Around the turn of the nineteenth century. A young cabinetmaker from Virginia named Peter Tuttle migrated to Madison County, Kentucky. For the past 30 years or more, a significant group of furniture, including pieces in this exhibition, have been attributed to him. The discovery of a carved'P* Tuttle' mark in the upper drawer of one chest of drawers has led some people to believe that Tuttle was the maker of this case-on-frame furniture. This detail is significant, but probably not substantial enough to attribute this body of work to him alone. To help determine the possible origins of the pieces, over 60 examples ... morewere surveyed; more are known to exist. The large quantity of surviving pieces, coupled with the fact that there are many variations in construction, suggests that more than one craftsman or shop was at work on this group.

FAKE & ALTERED ANTIQUE FURNITURE - 1931 CLASSIC by Hebert Cescinsky
The Gentle Art of Faking Furniture” By Herbert Cescinsky. Published in London by Chapman& Hall in 1931. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: One of the most influential and best-loved books on fake furniture and its attendant hazards. Fakers, detecting alterations, etc. As collecting"old things" became more popular at the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th, the trade in restored(faked) furniture exploded, with able cabinetmakers and unscrupulous dealers happily pasting genuinely old parts together to create"complete" examples of rare pieces, usually with no notice to the purchaser that any restoration work had been done beyond a brisk dusting and perhaps a new coat of varnish. Into this morass of confusion, collusion and corruption Herbert Cescinsky, longtime dealer and the author of more ... morethan half a dozen respected books on antique English furniture, clocks and interiors, happily waded with this much-needed book. Ames& Ward call it"literate and entertaining" And go on to note that its lessons, though decades old, apply"with equal force today and almost appear to have been written as a cautionary for some modern historians-even though the remarks are directed at the collector of English furniture, students of American objects can profit by many of the general observations. See, in particular, the list of questions stated in Chapter 5, Detective Methods and the Problem of Restoration' DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 8"x10.5" 168 pages plus 288 black& white plates. CONDITION NOTES: Covers lightly dusty. Some splits to the cloth along the hinges. Pages lightly toned, several with minor"offsetting" shadows from old paper inserts, but otherwise clean and nice, with a tight binding.

Cet ouvrage retrace donc l'évolution du mobilier voué à cet usage depuis le Grand Siècle jusqu'au commencement du XXe en France, mais également dans d'autres pays d'Europe et de l'Amérique du Nord.

FRENCH BOOK : Le Style Louis XIII (antique furniture,cabinet,chairs ...)
Le Style Louis XII 142 pages color photos Hard cover with dust jacket 26 x 24 cm 0.986 kg Francais/French Ce premier volume de la collection«des Styles» s’attache à la période du règne de Louis XIII. C’est-à-dire plus précisément à la période qui court de 1610 à 1643, mais en déborde aussi légèrement par la rareté des exemples subsistants. Après avoir retracé l’environnement social, l’évolution générale de la résidence et du décor, l’auteur s’attache à la description du mobilier de menuiserie et du mobilier d’ébénisterie. Il décrit ainsi l’évolution des différents types de meubles, du lit au coffre en passant par les sièges, étoffes, tapisseries, tables, armoires. Le cabinet, par sa position ... moreprestigieuse due à ses matériaux, se taille la part du lion dans le mobilier subsistant et dans l’iconographie. Pour terminer cette étude, sont étudiés des éléments décoratifs annexes tels que paravents, rideaux, luminaire, chenets, tableaux. L’iconographie, qui reproduit l’essentiel des meubles de cette époque subsistant actuellement, est habilement complétée par des gravures et des peintures. Powered by The free listing tool.

FRENCH BOOK : Charles Topino 1742-1803 (antique marquetry furniture)
Charles Topino 1742-1803 167 pages color and b&w photos Hard cover with dust jacket 28 x 22 cm 1.127 kg Francais/French Établi à Paris dès 1745. Topino travailla longtemps comme ouvrier libre dans le faubourg Saint-Antoine. Sa réputation, nationale et internationale lui attire une importante clientèle faite de marchands-merciers et de confrères ébénistes. Topino était capable de produire de l'excellente marqueterie. Sa créativité la plus étonnante s'est exprimée dans les motifs d'ustensiles dont certains meubles ne font que souligner l'ambition décorative. Mais d'autres décors, floraux ou d'architecture, prouvent la diversité de son talent. Son audace commerciale s'est par ailleurs manifestée dans la conception d'un vaste ... moreréseau de distributeurs et dans la vente de marqueteries prêtes à l'emploi. Autant de qualités qui lui sont personnelles, mais auxquelles il convient d'ajouter, sans forcer le trait, une personnalité originale et séduisante. Powered by The free listing tool.
