Comments from our editors:
With 1,700 superb drawings, this guide makes it possible for even a neophyte to immediately identify the style of any piece of furniture from 17th Century to Arts and Crafts to modern.

American furniture is classified by the period and the region in which it was created. These clues are found in the line, carving, construction and materials of the piece.

In this book, illustrations are organized by type of furniture, period, style and region of origin. A glossary and diagrams of furniture parts provide a quick reference to the terms used throughout the book. A detailed index makes it possible to quickly locate any term, style or cabinet maker included in the book.
