Book Description
Eileen Dubrow has exhaustively combined all original catalog material from major American furniture manufacturers of the 1880s and 90s. This period was American's hey day of growth, and its furniture is the fastest growing field of collecting today. This book will enable the reader to identify makers and give ideas of other pieces available. This book presents a fascinating study showing hundreds of examples covering furniture for the dining room, parlour, library, bedroom (brass beds), and office (a tremendous number of variations of roll top desks), including rattan and children's furniture. These pieces are still available in the market place at reasonable prices and are superbly crafted. This book contains a price reference guide.

Furniture Made in America 1875-1905 by E & R Dubrow April 20, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book provides an extensive pictorial description of each piece of furniture shown from this period with an accompanying detailed caption describing the furniture in great detail including the different woods available for that particular piece. Many of these pictorial descriptions are copies of the original advertisements,making them very authentic. It is a must for every collector of furniture from this period!
