This book is a 476-page survey of furniture craftsmen working in Chester County, Pennsylvania from its founding in 1682 to 1850 when there was a recognized decline in the handicraft tradition. The settlers included predominently English Quakers for the first half century, after which numbers of Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, Welsh Baptists, Irish Quakers, and Germans became equally important and, later, had major influence in the county. The hand made furniture from the county has certain distinguishing features which are explained in the well-researched text, and illustrated in 175 photographs. Hundreds of cabinetmakers and other craftsmen are profiled in detail from their contemporary public records. The work is an important reference for furniture and social historians alike.

Download Of Workshops and Warerooms Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The striking difference between the relative unimportance of place in the first peak and the critical specificity of location in the second peak reflects a basic change in American rural life in the early nineteenth century. Thanks to improved transportation and communication, the generation that came of age in the 1820s to the 1840s shopped in central places where a variety of ready-made goods could be purchased, rather than confining most of their purchasing to a highly restricted area near their homes and to suppliers of goods who were neighbors, as did their parents.
