Description
This fascinating early work will appeal to carpenters and antiquarians alike, but also contains a wealth of information that is still useful and practical today. Sixteen patterns, 35 plates and tens of detailed diagrams accompany thorough instructions. Contents Include: Foreword: It's Fun to Decorate Chairs; Types of Decoration; Terms, Materials, Surface Preparation; Background Finishes; Brush-Stroke Painting; Stencilling Techniques; Gold-Leaf and Other Techniques; American Painted Chairs; Country Windsors; Hitchcock Chairs; Boston Rockers; Nineteenth-Century Fiddle-Backs; Anybody's Chair-Unclassified Type; Cohasset Colonial. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
