Reproduction Furniture - Identification Styles Makers Values / In-Depth Book

Description

EMYL JENKINS’ REPRODUCTION FURNITURE – Antiques for the Next Generation
foreword by Ralph and Terry Kovel, Crown Publishers, NY, 1995.
This book is an invaluable reference for the identification and valuation of “reproduction furniture our grandparents bought…Here, for the first time in quick reference form is an extensive list of many manufacturers who made the furniture our ancestors bought new that is now 50, 75, and even 100 years old.  There is also a directory of today’s craftsmen who are making fine reproduction furniture, as well as a handy pricing guideline [see date of publication].  Particularly important is the section on furniture styles.  In these pages you will learn how to identify a Queen Anne-style chair and a Louis XV-style writing table.  There is also an easy-to-read section on the new machines that made it possible to mass produce reproduction furniture.  This information is invaluable when distinguishing between furniture that ‘looks old’ and that which really is old – period antiques.”
