Sheds light on a neglected aspect of American decorative arts. Charles Eastlake, an English design reformer, brought a new look of rectilinear simplicity to American furniture in the 1870s and 1880s. The functional lines of this new "art furniture" were in marked contrast to the curved shapes, heavy carving, and ostentatious decorations of the preceding Rococo revival. Introduction with 26 footnotes by Mary Jean Smith Madigan, annotated catalogue of 73 pieces of furniture, and a bibliography.
