DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 176 pages. Publisher: Abbeyville Press(1979) Published in 1960 at $25.00. High Quality Printing in Switzerland] Fortress. Treasure house, and heart of an Empire, Moscow’s Kremlin is the national shrine of a mighty people; a symbol of the turbulent, dramatic, often tragic history which lies behind the present day reality of the Soviet Union. Within its walls Soviet guards stand watch over incredible riches, the priceless heritage of Old Russia: Monomakh’s Cap of gold, used to crown every Russian sovereign, so ancient its origins are unknown; Ivan the Terrible’s jewel-encrusted Book of Gospels; The Diamond Crown of Peter the Great; the long-lost cloth of Christ; Catherine the Great’s off-the shoulder wedding dress; the Golden Easter Egg given to the last Romanov Emperor shortly before he was murdered. In 1956 David Douglas Duncan. The internationally famous photographer, astonished art and political circles by winning sudden and unprecedented permission from the Soviets to use his color cameras without restriction within the Kremlin. No other photographer, before or since, has ever been granted such carte blanche authority to carry cameras into the Soviet citadel. Gaining the confidence and friendship of Kremlin guards and of his interpreters, Duncan visited Moscow five times over a period of three years to photograph painstakingly the color and incalculable treasures of church and state, the great cathedrals, the throne rooms and even the bedroom of the Tzars. His color transparencies have been transformed into“The Kremlin” a photographic document which is unique in subject and execution. Every picture was made with 35mm cameras, then faithfully reproduced by the most advanced technical methods developed in Switzerland. Duncan. A veteran journalist as well as an artist with a camera, knew that his work represented

SAMUEL McINTIRE of SALEM- FEDERAL FURNITURE & INTERIOR CARVING -Wonderful Book
Samuel McIntire: Carving an American Style” By Dean T. Lahikainen. Published by the Peabody Essex Museum in 2007. But now out of print. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: For more than a century. Historians have been searching for the true Samuel McIntire(1757–1811) and have been trying to define his role in shaping the cultural heritage of Salem, Massachusetts. Trained as a carpenter by his father, McIntire taught himself the art of architectural drawing and went on to design scores of public and private buildings in Salem, long celebrated for their elegance and beauty. After 1790, however, he made his living primarily as a wood carver, providing ornamental decoration for many of the buildings he designed as well as for furniture and more than two dozen sailing vessels. McIntire was also called upon to carve portrait busts ... moreand even a model of a historic pear, commissions that brought him into the realm of academic sculpture. Samuel McIntire: Carving an American Style is the first book to examine the full range of his carving career and to put it into a broader perspective in terms of the work of his contemporaries and other decorative traditions of the Federal period. The book draws on the remarkable collections of the Peabody Essex Museum. In Salem, Massachusetts, which owns most of McIntire’s architectural drawings and several of his most important buildings, as well as furniture in public and private collections from around the country. Lahikainen presents a critical analysis of McIntire’s carving style and questions some long-held attributions that shed new light on his role as a furniture maker and designer. The book accompanied a major exhibition of McIntire’s work, curated by Lahikainen. This is not an exhibition catalogue; rather, it is an in-depth examination of the works by this master carver that will be required reading for anyone interested in Federal-era design, decorative art, and architecture” DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9.5”x12” 305 pages, 315 color and 131 black&

Scottish Cabinetmakers in Federal New York” By Mary Ann Apicella. Published by the University press of New England in 2007. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The first full-length study of the Scottish community of craftsman in Federal New York. Extensively researched throughout the United States and the British Isles. This lavishly illustrated volume brings to light the influence of Scottish cabinetmakers and designs on furniture made in Federal America. 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.

ANTIQUE PAINTED FEDERAL and COUNTRY FURNITURE BY AMERICAN WOMEN CABINETMAKERS
Women's Painted Furniture 1790-1830. American Schoolgirl Art” By Betsy Krieg Salm. Published by the University Press of New England in 2010. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Beautifully illustrated. Comprehensive study of women's painted furniture, a long-lost art that sheds light on women's lives in the early republic. In this long-awaited tribute to women's painted furniture, author and artist Betsy Krieg Salm rediscovers a style of early American decorative art still largely unknown to curators, antique dealers, art historians, and the public. She documents the socioeconomic, cultural, and aesthetic history of the form, which includes such items as sewing and work boxes, face screens, and tables. Salm carefully chronicles the process itself, describing a selection of cabinetmakers, woods, varnishes, ... moreand paints, along with the specific tools and techniques used by women artists. Salm analyzes the styles, designs, and patterns of more than two hundred pieces. Treating these objects as documents of women's daily lives, she shows the close relationship between painted furniture motifs and those of needlework and other decorative arts of the period. Thanks to her scholarship, this art form may now receive the recognition it deserves in the broader genre of American women's art. Women's Painted Furniture presents a comprehensive collection of images, most of which are not available elsewhere. Primary sources include recipes, patterns, genealogies of artisans, chemical analyses of antiques, instructions in methods and technique, and the original, mainly English, sources of artistic inspiration for painters and needle workers.

HISTORIC DEERFIELD COLLECTION - ANTIQUE AMERICAN COLONIAL & FEDERAL FURNITURE
The Furniture of Historic Deerfield” By Dean A. Fales. Published in New York by E.P. Dutton in 1976. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The beautiful and scholarly catalog of this very important collection of 17th and 18th century New England furniture. The Flynts themselves purchased most of the items in the collection. So it not only shows a fine cross-section of the best New England furniture, but is also an example of the taste and collecting eye of a single pair of astute and unique collectors. The Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association website notes- Henry Needham Flynt(1893-1970) with his wife Helen, founded Historic Deerfield in Deerfield, Massachusetts. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of George Converse Flynt and Helen Pratt Needham. In 1920 he married Helen Margaret Geier(1895-1986) of Cincinnati, Ohio. ... moreThe Flynts lived in Brooklyn Heights for several years and then decided to move out of the city. They built a home in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1929. They had three children, including one son, Henry Jr. who went to Deerfield Academy in 1936. By 1941 Henry Sr. was on the academy's board of directors. Their connection with headmaster Frank Boyden and with the town of Deerfield itself led the Flynts to purchase their first property in the town in 1942. Soon they purchased four more properties, viewing their mission for the town as one of preservation and restoration, a mission that had expanded to include the entire village center of Deerfield. To furnish their houses they began purchasing antiques that often had some historical association with the property. In 1952, to assist their efforts, the Flynts formed the Heritage Foundation, which was renamed Historic Deerfield in 1971. Henry Flynt closely followed the foundation's activities. His involvement in Deerfield history led to his membership in the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, Deerfield's first historical association, serving as its president from 1949 until his death in 1970. Helen Flynt's involvem

Antique American Colonial & Federal Furniture : Eddy Nicholson Collection 1995
An Interesting Auction Catalog- The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Eddy Nicholson” The catalog to an auction held in New York by Christie's 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. His 2011 New York Times obituary notes- Eddy G. Nicholson. A spark plug of a man who was the son of a factory worker in Sherman, Tex. began ... morecollecting 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 fellow executiv

1790-1840 American Federal Rococo & Fancy Furniture & Antiques -Chipstone Study
American Fancy. Exuberance in the Arts 1790-1840” By Sumter Priddy. Published by the Chipstone Foundation& 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. Whether ... moreexperienced 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: There is a long. Warm gift inscription on the title page from the author. Minor wear. Spine label peeled a bit at the bottom, but otherwise clean and nice, with
