Decorative Arts and Household Furnishings in America is an intensive, annotated bibliography of American furnishings between 1650 and 1920. This is literally a crash course in the study of furnishings and its relevance to American domestic history. The defining features are found in chapters divided by major concentration such as Domestic Architecture, Furniture, Metals, Ceramics and Glass, Textiles, Timepieces and Artisans and Culture. This would be a jewel in the crown of any library. A must have for historians, collectors, students and the general public.
