Southern Furniture, 1680-1830
This is the first modern, broad-ranging, synthetic study of furniture made and used in the early South. Chief curator Ronald Hurst and former associate John Prown go beyond earlier aesthetic and stylistic analyses to provide the most recent information about the South's extensive cabinetmaking traditions and to examine the ethnic and cultural diversity of the region. The book includes 183 catalog entries that provide a detailed study of each object and a discussion of its utilitarian, aesthetic and symbolic functions. 640 pages, 220 color illustrations, 565 black and white illustrations.
