About this product
Product Information
Drawing principally on original source materials, Nancy Goyne Evans's elegantly written and extensively illustrated Windsor-Chair Making in America presents an authoritative and absorbing historical picture of the vernacular chair shop and industry. Of the book's five chapters, three deal extensively with the craft shop. Evans discusses everything from structure to tools and equipment, from shop personnel to power sources, and from raw materials to ornament, both painted and stenciled. A chapter on marketing explores the booming Windsor-chair trade in the American coastal South and the islands of the Caribbean, furniture distribution to local, overland, and overseas markets, and general methods of doing business. Another section explores consumerism and the use of Windsor furniture in domestic and public settings. Students and interpreters of American material culture and life will find here an abundance of new material organized and presented to provide comprehensive insights into craft life and product distribution in America. Evans's book should have pride of place in the libraries of collectors, curators, practicing and amateur furniture craftsmen, and anyone interested in early American studies trades, folk art, and pre-industrial technology. This book includes an extensive index, detailed maps, an indispensable paint color chart based on more than 1,200 references, a select bibliography, and a wealth of photographic reproductions.

Reviews
"An enduring contribution to American decorative arts and scholarship... the standard reference on Windsor chairs." --Choice, "A humming narrative . . . provides a bright insight into a fascinating era directed specifically at Windsor chairs, the book is also a comprehensive day-to-day study of furniture making overall in pre-industrial America. It amounts to a solid volume obviously well researched and equally well-written, offering clear witness to the transition of furniture crafting from one century to another in this country."--Antique & Collectible News Service\R, "While directed specifically at Windsor chairs, the book is also a comprehensive day-to-day study of furniture making overall in pre-industrial America...The result is a humming narrative which provides a bright insight into that fascinating era."--Massachusetts & Rhode Island Country Register, "A fine new book... a solid volume obviously well-researched and equally well-written."--Country Pleasures Magazine\R, "A humming narrative . . . provides a bright insight into a fascinating era directed specifically at Windsor chairs, the book is also a comprehensive day-to-day study of furniture making overall in pre-industrial America.

Written with style, subtle and sophisticated in its judgment, this groundbreaking work redefines and redirects our thinking about the lives of the craftsmen as well as their handcrafted products." -- Wendell Garrett, former editor, Magazine Antiques; vice president emeritus, Americana Department, Sotheby's, New York.
