Description

AMERICAN OAK FURNITURE – STYLES AND PRICES BOOK I
by Robert and Harriett Swedberg, Wallace Homestead, PA, 1982/1992.
Approximately 500 black-and-white photographs with identifying captions highlight this early out-of-print book which identifies antique oak furniture. “Each caption includes description, dimensions, locale, and current market value. Eight pages of color illustrate the quality and fine detail of this versatile wood. A section dedicated to the characteristics of oak and its look-alikes will help you spot the most common oak imitation.”
The authors “generously share their expertise, careful research, and years of experience in the antiques field to produce this lavishly illustrated guide to oak furniture with current values [see date of publication]. Mission oak, the Arts and Crafts Movement, the works of Gustav Stickley and Elbert Hubbard’s Roycrofters are covered in detail, in addition to oak built-ins and oak furniture for every room in the house.
American Oak Furniture
skillfully bridges the gap between the nostalgic past and the facts of the present in an informal but highly informative style. Readers will appreciate the extensive Index as they consult their reputable source book again and again.”
