Excerpt from Colonial Furniture in America New England possesses many fine collections, both pub lic and private, and as these collections contain examples from both North and South, we have in many cases used them in illustrating instead of taking specimens still in the South. In the last few years many pieces of the seventeenth century furniture have come to light which fully carry out the idea of development insisted on in this volume, but often it has been impossible to obtain pictures of these pieces, the owners fearing the reproducer.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ...designated by the number of their slats.4hus, "three back," "four back," and "five "back "--the one just shown being a four-back. Figure 107 is a five-back chair in the pattern most often found in New England, dating early in the eighteenth century; and as such chairs are somewhat hard to find, they are more highly prized than those with a smaller number of slats. It belongs to Mr. Meggat. Figure 108 shows a five-back belonging to Mr. Frank C. Gillingham, of Germantown, Pennsylvania, which represents the Southern type of this chair. The arms are high and cut much like those of the wainscot chairs, and the chair is original throughout. Figure 109 is still another slat-back, belonging to Mr. C. J. Burnell, of Hartford, Connecticut, which has cut instead of turned uprights, and belongs to a later date. The hollow cut in the top slat accommodates the head and relieves the very upright position re quired by the straightness of the back. The brass terminals are new. Such chairs as these may have been referred to in a Yorktown inventory of 1745: "6 Ribed back chairs 1." Figure 109. Slat-back, about 1760-70. Another form of chair which had survived from an earlier period was the banister-back chainf a very early example of one, belonging to the Connecticut Historical Society, is shown in Figure no. It wifl be seen at a glance that it is a modification of the cane chairs, combining both the Flemish and Spanish styles in the back, while the under part is decidedly Spanish. The four spindles, curved on the front side and flat on the back, take the place of the cane or leather back, and the carved underbrace of the cane chairs is supplanted by a simple turned one. Figure 110. Banister-back, 1710-20....

Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...panel becomes smaller at the rolling ends, is a rosette of ebony. A large rosette of ebony finishes the four ends, and four ebony lions' heads finish where the legs join the frame. The seat is of cane covered with a thin layer of hair. Throughout the eighteenth century it was common to have small seats to fit into the window recesses, and a number of them have been found in this country, although they are not nearly so common here as they are in England. A very handsome one, in the Chippendale style, is shown in Figure 651, the property of Mr. Marsden J. Perry, of Providence. The ends are scrolled, each scroll being finished with a rosette, and on the front surface are carved acanthus-leaf scrolls. The legs are cabriole, terminating in French scroll feet, and on the knees are carved acanthus leaves. The rear side is straight and the front is serpentine. A lattice design quite similar to that shown in the splat of the chair in Figure 567 finishes the two ends. Another window-seat, the property of the Tiffany Studios, is shown in Figure 652. The ends are scrolled, terminating in rosettes, and the sides are moulded with a pearl beading through the centre. On the lower edge of the rail is a godrooned moulding and above each leg is carved a rosette. The legs are straight with the surfaces fluted. The seat and two ends are upholstered. SOFAS We now come to the discussion of the sofa, which, according to our definition, differs from the settee in that it is upholstered and does not closely follow the design of a chair back. Such pieces are found in every style from the middle of the seventeenth century to and including the Empire style of 1820. In the Dutch period the sofa was often an enlarged arm-chair and was called a love seat, undoubtedly...

The Metropolitan Museum's preeminent collection of early colonial furniture is expertly documented in this long-awaited publication. It covers the full spectrum of furniture forms made during the 17th and early 18th centuries--from chairs and other seating to tables, boxes, various types of chests and cupboards, and desks. Each of the 141 objects is thoroughly described with detailed information on provenance, construction, condition, inscriptions, dimensions, and materials. Photographed anew in color for this volume, each piece is explicated in terms of the styles and craftsmanship of the period and is evaluated in light of comparative pieces in public and private collections throughout the country. One appendix contains photographic details of construction and decorative elements, and another has drawings of joints and moldings.
