Book Description
About the Author Nancy Schiffer's interest in furniture design developed while excavating a seventeenth-century site during her graduate studies; she wondered what furniture those people lived with. The interest turned into a professional concern as
she became an appraiser, dealer, and writer about antiques and decorative arts design.
Product Description: The pine furniture and tools gathered in this book have come from distant places in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia. Painted
with cheerful colors, they served every practical function in a home. Over 280 beautiful color photographs in this book show construction details and furniture design of great variety. Today, the warm tones of old paint on soft pine wood in antique
furniture convey sability to a home and security among its inhabitants. They help to create a welcoming place to live.
