American Windsor Furniture
Specialized Forms

by Nancy Goyne Evans

Evans's acclaimed study continues with a volume devoted to children's furniture; writing-arm chairs, rocking chairs, settees and benches, stools, and spinning wheels; such rare forms as commode chairs, seats for invalids, and barber chairs; and even toy miniatures. Surveyed by form, geographic region, and pattern chronology, this publication is a masterful study and worthy companion to American Windsor Chairs (Hudson Hills Press, 1996).

Nancy Goyne Evans is an independent furniture historian and former research fellow of the Winterthur Museum in Wilmington, Delaware.
