'The product of master craftsmen – ‘artists in their trade’ – American Chippendale furniture represents perhaps the highest form of creative endeavor in Colonial America. The 151 pieces illustrated in this guide are a careful sampling of Chippendale furniture (1755-1790) from New York, Philadelphia, and the South.'
A WINTERTHUR GUIDE TO AMERICAN CHIPPENDALE FURNITURE – Middle Atlantic and Southern Colonies by Charles F. Hummel, Crown Publishers Inc. 1976 First Edition.
Lavishly illustrated in color and black-and-white, this scarce out-of-print book is a concisely rich text. The illustrations are sharp and provide a great sampling of Chippendale furniture with complete in-depth descriptions including makers, dates, dimensions, materials, and more. Examples include chairs, tables, fire screens, bookcases, desks, chest of drawers, candlestands, clocks, and more. Whether a novice or advanced collector, a dealer, or curator of early American furniture, this book will prove to be an invaluable reference.
