American Windsor Chairs was one of the publishing phenomena of 1996, selling out in its first season. Now this companion volume continues Nancy Goyne Evans's magisterial study of American Windsor furniture, which was part of the fabric of American life from before the birth of the national until the mid-nineteenth century and is now among the most widely collected objects in the decorative-arts field. Unlike the massproduced Windsor armchair and side chair, most of these specialized forms were made to order. Early examples were painted green, later ones ranged from yellow to black, with nineteenth-century examples often decorated more elaborately.Here are cradles, highchairs, and other children's furniture; writing-arm chairs, rocking chairs (including nursing and sewing chairs), settees and benches, stools, and spinning wheels; such rare forms as commode chairs, seats for invalids, barber chairs, and seating for use in vehicles; even toy miniatures. The material is surveyed chronologically and by geographic region, from Pennsylvania through New York, New England, the South, the Midwest, and Canada. Each form is treated in cultural, economic, and technological context.
