This is the first volume to record the history of Marquetry and the American masters who handed down the tradition from father to son. Never before has American folk marquetry been investigated, catalogued, or recognized as a distinct body of work; documentation had not been discovered, names of marquetry makers were unknown and a collection of important work was not available for study. However, after years of research and collaboration with collectors Robert and Marjorie Hirschhorn, Richard Muhlberger has produced a beautifully illustrated work that will undoubtedly serve as an indispensable reference for the collector and enthusiast alike.
