Kirk, John T.
American Chairs, Queen Anne and Chippendale.
New York; Alfred A. Knopf: 1972. Kirk emphasizes the regional approach to American furniture through a study of construction and design details and an analysis of regional aesthetics... Although Kirk's approach is a visual and aesthetic one, as in his other works he makes use of the objects as documents of the nature of eighteenth century society. (Ames) It also remains a valuable reference to American chairs. Hardcover. 11"x12", 208 pages, color frontispiece and 252 b/w illustrations, dj. Light wear, but a nice copy.
