I have a large collection of Antique Furniture books, that I use as a professional accredited appraiser (International Society of Appraisers). I see a lot of fine pieces that have survived, in their original condition. This book has been a source of knowledge which helped me a lot.

This book, originally published in 1963 and 1965. It quickly became the "bible" to those interested in the early French furniture in colonial Canada.
It was the first book to organize and regionalize furniture based on the various motifs and carvings. Truly a magnificent volume.
Try to get the original large size "hardcover" book(s) as its value to the reader is based on the photos. The later edition(s) are half the size of the original book and lack color photos.

This is a "must have" for both artisan cabinetmakers and collectors. No disappointments here.

On a lighter note, I was told that old bed on the book's cover is not in fact a complete bed, but that the headboard was indeed made up for the photo session. This is witnessed by the two upright "headposts" being covered by the canopy drape.
