Duncan Phyfe Furniture Antique New York Federal Cabinetmaker 1939 Deluxe 
Edition

“Duncan Phyfe and the English Regency 1795-1830”

By Nancy McClelland. Published in New York by William R. Scott in 1939. 
Limited edition, limited to 350 numbered, signed copies, bound in 
Regency-style red & white fabric.

This remains the standard work on Phyfe although, in common with many 
early works, some attributions have been changed over the years. 
McClelland is especially valuable for tracing "the English background of 
Phyfe's work and in placing his shops' production in the context of his 
competitors, both in New York City and elsewhere" -Ames & Ward. Semowich 
488.

Nancy McClelland was a noted collector, dealer and author, writing 
several important books about antiques, including "Duncan Phyfe and the 
English Regency", "The Practical Book of Decorative Wall Treatments", 
and "Furnishing the Colonial and Federal House".

Hardcover. 9"x12.5", 364 pages, 295 black & white illustrations. Some 
minor cover soil and light scuffing, some light internal age-foxing, 
bookplate removed, but otherwise clean and nice, with a tight binding. 
$175
