About This Item
Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1979. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. First printing. Oversized hardcover. 128 pp. with bibliography, index. Profusely illustrated with vintage photos, reproductions and with diagrams. Light tidemarking along the bottom of all text pages but otherwise clean and bright in crisp dust jacket. A work that is not only a social and aesthetic history of the rustic furniture craft but also a manual for building the familiar resort chairs, settees, and tables made from unhewn wood and gnarled roots. The author entertainingly traces the development of rustic furniture and garden architecture from ancient Rome, Imperial China, and 19th century America and examines the landscape garden movement in England and Europe and the flowering of American mountain resorts in the Adirondacks and Appalachains.
