He was depicted in Eben Howard Gay's"A Chippendale Romance" in the person of Mr. Remington, a premiere collector of American Chippendale furniture, a"man of middle age and serious aspect, with) the ferret-like nose of the antiquarian, and a sonorous voice whose tones deepened into thrilling vibrations when discoursing upon his pet hobby. His pet hobby soon became a business, and he became one of the first of the major Americana ... morecollector/dealers. His premier collection was one of the first to be presented to an institution, and a specially designed house was built to hold it. A leader of the"scrape and refinish" school, his star became somewhat eclipsed in the decades after his death, but this cannot obscure the beauty and importance of the magnificent collection he built. A full account of his life and collecting is presented in this catalog, which presents the American furniture from the collection, and includes pieces bought since Pendleton's death. DESCRIPTION: Softcover. 9"x12" 228 pages, many black& white and several color illustrations. CONDITION NOTES: Covers worn. Some soil. Black label on spine. Moisture wave and slight stain.

ANTIQUE AMERICAN FURNITURE & ANTIQUES - FANCY DECORATED STYLES 1790-1840
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

Clive Sherwood, who was born in Birmingham and lived in the area until his death in Bromsgrove in June 2001. His passion for oak stemmed, at an early age, from an 18th century oak table, accepted by his father in payment of a bad debt, which stood in the hall of his family home.

The fine collection of Oak Furniture, Sculpture and Works of Art, dating from the 15th century onwards which is being offered by Mr Sherwood’s Estate, ... morecomprises more than 400 lots and is expected to fetch £1 million. The care of the furniture has been supervised by Mr Sherwood’s wife, Rosemary, who found, as the collection grew that she was faced with a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, as when anything new appeared a space had to be found. Hans-Christian Bowen, Sotheby’s specialist in charge of the sale, said: It is rare that one sees a large collection with such depth and quality and containing so many items that you would like to own and take home. It stands as a testament to Clive Sherwood’s knowledge and love of his subject.

ANTIQUE ITALIAN FURNITURE -MEDIEVAL RENAISSANCE CLASSICAL -1918 ODOM 2 VOLUMES
A History of Italian Furniture from the Fourteenth to the Early Nineteenth Centuries” By William M. Odom. Published in New York by Doubleday. Page& Company in 1918-1919. Limited to 500 sets. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: A large. Well-illustrated classic on Italian furniture of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classical Revival and Empire periods. Odom published his work when interest in and appreciation for the arts and crafts of the Italian Renaissance was peaking in America and England, and it followed several other noted English language studies of Italian woodwork, interiors, architecture and carving. In many Renaissance-era craft centers, but especially in Italy, the same workers who created the beautifully-carved church and house interior woodwork and sculptures also made the furniture, so the subjects ... morewere inextricably linked. Odom, however, was the first English-language writer to focus on furniture, and he drew his examples mainly from American, Italian, and some English, collections, both public and private. Many examples were drawn from the stock of high-end New York dealers such as Bardini and Volpi, and others came from the N metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria& Albert. The rest were in private hands; some of those examples have since migrated to museums, others have changed location or disappeared from public view entirely. Indeed, the second volume which begins after the Renaissance and features Baroque and Classical pieces, is drawn almost exclusively from private collections, as most connoisseurs of the period, Odom included, viewed these styles as debased and vulgar, and unworthy of museum collections.

Specializing in Connecticut furniture. Born in 1894 in Connecticut. Mr. Barbour was christened Fritz Krupp Barbour, but while standing in an army recruiting line in 1916 it occurred to him that having a Germanic first name followed by a middle name which was also the name of German's leading producer of artillery shells might not be popular in the Army, so he gave his name as Frederick K. Barbour, and such it remained for the rest of his life. After the war he joined the family business as president of the ... moreAmerican branch of The Linen Thread Company. After spending several decades in manhattan the Barbours transferred to Litchfield County, Connecticut, and began to seriously collect antique Connecticut furniture.

Halsey wrote an appreciation ... moreof Myers after his death for the 1932 auction catalog of his collection of antique American furniture. Silver, pewter and accessories, in which he notes- He knew infinitely more about the touch of the old time craftsman and the wiles of the present day forgers than those of us who frequently called upon him. His judgment was unerring. There is no one to take his place. His ability and zeal as a collector has long been evidenced in his collections, and his much sought-after advice greatly improved the quality of several of the important collections of American furniture assembled during the past decade. It is safe to say that had not Louis Guerineau Myers lived, the knowledge of much of the excellence of craftsmanship of our eighteenth century cabinetmakers would not yet have been known to us.

ANTIQUE ENGLISH VICTORIAN FURNITURE -THE REVIVAL STYLES - by Symonds & Whineray
Victorian Furniture” By R.W. Symonds& B.B. Whineray. Published in London by Country Life Ltd. in 1965. 2nd printing. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: It is not always appreciated that there were as many changes and trends in furniture design in the reign of Queen Victoria as there had been in those of the previous five sovereigns. Therefore. In the space of some 50,000 words, this book can attempt only a general survey of Victorian furniture and its use and place in the Victorian home. Discussion of any one aspect in great detail has not been possible; the Exhibitions, wood-working machinery, papier-mache and the Arts and Crafts Movement, to name but a few, are all subjects, closely connected with furniture, which have been or could have been expanded into works of their own. It is hoped, however, that enough has been ... moresaid on each subject to give a balanced picture of furniture throughout the Victorian era" Actually. B.B. Whineray protests too much. This is a well illustrated study of English Victorian era furniture which does a very good job exploring the development and influences of the styles, the methods and materials used, and the social context of the movement. Symonds, one of the leading authorities on English furniture, died during preparation of the book, and it was completed by Whineray, his assistant. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 8.5"x11" 232 pages, color frontispiece and 281 black& white illustrations. CONDITION NOTES: The covers have some light wear and scuffs(please see the photos.

FAKE ANTIQUE FURNITURE - 1931 CLASSIC - ALTERED CABINETRY by NEFARIOUS DEALERS
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.

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 & AMERICANA
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.

ANTIQUE AMERICAN COLONIAL FURNITURE -CLASSIC 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

WILLIAM STARBUCK MACY -1906 CATALOG OF ANTIQUE AMERICAN & ENGLISH FURNITURE
An Interesting Auction Catalog- The W. Starbuck Macy Collection. Rare Examples of old English and American Furniture. Pewters, Potteries, Glass, Historical China, etc. including choice and original specimens by Chippendale, Sheraton and Hepplewhite” The catalog to an auction held in New York by James P. Silo on November 15-24. 1906. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The sale of an early collection. Most of the illustrated items are furniture. With some historical Staffordshire thrown in. Mr. W.Starbuck Macy. As set forth in the following catalogue, may be summed up in a very few words. Every article contained therein is positively genuine and guaranteed, a rather unusual state of affairs when one comes to deal with the great names of Thomas Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Sheraton. The public in general are so apt to attribute ... moreevery piece with a ball-and-claw foot to Chippendale, especially in chairs, and every piece having a bit of inlay to Sheraton, and to confuse the work of Hepplewhite with that of Chippendale, that when one comes to examine the collection made by Mr. Macy it is something of a shock to find that Chippendale has shown in his book of designs only one small hall chair with even a suggestion of a ball-and-claw foot, and that this design is not by any means characteristic of his work, but was also used by other makers of his day. Necessarily all of Sheratons pieces were not inlaid, any more than were the works of Hepplewhite and Thomas Chippendale himself. The matter of inlay was simply a matter of fashion, and we find all of the great furniture makers at the time using it. Mr. Macy has shown wonderful knowledge in assembling so vast a collection of the various domestic works of art of a bygone age, and it is doubtful whether there is a man with his catholic knowledge and ability among the present day connoisseurs in this line. The manufacture of the modern antique(to use an anachronism) has been so widespread that it has only whetted the appetite of the real collector f

Galle Furniture” By Alastair Duncan& Georges de Bartha. Published by the Antique Collectors' Club in 2012. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Emile Galle was one of the great names of the Art Nouveau movement in France. And founder of the famous Ecole de Nancy. A polymath and committed social activist, he was best known for his glasswork and faience. Furniture became his third discipline after experimenting with the manufacture of wooden bases on which he could mount his glass vases. Following the French tradition of furniture decoration known as marqueterie, his work is characterised by its meticulous decorative veneers, stained with subtle organic dyes; and panels inlaid with stunningly intricate country scenes and flowers. This important book outlines all of Galle's major works of furniture, from the pieces ... moreuniques that were designed for an exclusive clientele, to those displayed between 1889 and 1904 at the annual Paris Salons and two World Expositions. The recent emergence of many of his objets de luxe enables the reader to understand many of his pieces for the first time. Written by Decorative Arts specialist Alastair Duncan, Galle Furniture documents the history of Galle's furniture production from his favourite motifs to the ways in which he used furniture design to express his social and political ideals. Duncan includes an encyclopedic range of models created in the Galle Workshops both during and after his lifetime. Beautifully illustrated, and containing translations of Galle's'Notes to the Juries' of the World Expositions, this stunning publication will leave the reader captivated by this remarkable expression of the new art that changed the European aesthetic forever.

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.
