Introduced from England in the early 1700s, the Windsor style took hold in America first as seating for the well-to-do and later as favorite of the general population. This beautifully illustrated book--by the acclaimed creator of THE BOOK OF SHAKER FURNITURE (1980)--serves as both an introduction to Windsor furniture and a guide for creating reproductions. 211 illustrations.This work documents the different features and styles of American Windsor furniture, with narrative descriptions and photographs of the 198 pieces under discussion. It also provides 34 drawings (and lists of measured parts) which can be used as blue-prints for creating Windsor reproductions.
