"The Concord Museum: Decorative Arts from a New England Collection" offers a rare look at the Concord Museum's important collection. Filled with new research and major findings, the catalogue includes 60 in-depth entries that examine 100 decorative arts objects - case furniture, tables, seating furniture, clocks, looking glasses, textiles, ceramics, and metal ware. For each object the authors give detailed information about provenance, construction, condition, dimensions, and materials, as well as extensive references. The entries have been prepared by some of the foremost American researchers writing in their areas of expertise.
Developed with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the GenRad Foundation, and the Chipstone Foundation, this beautifully illustrated and authoritatively written new catalogue is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in American decorative arts—scholars, collectors, professionals, and laypeople alike.
