A catalogue of the collection of decorative arts pieces housed at the Concord Museum in Massachusetts. Many of the items were first gathered by the museum's founder, Cummings Davis (1816-1896), who moved to Concord in 1850 and became interested in the town's storied history. The major categories are Case Furniture, Tables, Seating Furniture, Clocks, Looking Glasses, and Other Forms. The well-annotated and illustrated catalogue addresses 60 items. Includes furniture once owned by Concordians Ralph Waldo Emerson and by Henry David Thoreau, including the latter's spare items used during his two-year stay at his house at Walden Pond.
