[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“Connecticut Valley Furniture by Eliphalet Chapin and His 
Contemporaries, 1750-1800”

By Thomas P. Kugelman, Alice K. Kugelman, et al.
Published by the University Press of New England in 2005.

"Connecticut Valley Furniture offers the first-ever systematic framework 
for classifying eighteenth-century Connecticut case furniture-high 
chests, dressing tables, desks, bureaus, chests-on-chests. Nearly two 
hundred illustrated entries present the findings of the Hartford Case 
Furniture Study, an extensive field study of over five hundred regional 
examples conducted over fourteen years by independent furniture scholars 
Thomas P. Kugelman and Alice K. Kugelman and furniture consultant and 
restorer Robert Lionetti. The book defines four major style centers 
emanating from the towns of Wethersfield, East Windsor, and Colchester, 
Connecticut, as well the Springfield-Northampton region of 
Massachusetts. Over half of the illustrations feature unpublished or 
little-known furniture pieces discovered in private or small 
institutional collections, in addition to the extraordinary holdings of 
the Connecticut Historical Society Museum and other major collections. 
Complementing the text are period maps, an illustrated glossary, 
biographies of selected cabinetmakers, and six interpretive essays.

Hardcover. 10"x12", 540 pages, 445 color and black & white 
illustrations, dust jacket. In fine, clean condition. $250
