Best American Furniture for 2020
American Furniture, a renowned journal in its field, presents groundbreaking research on furniture design, use, production, and appreciation. Established in 1993, this award-winning annual publication provides a comprehensive forum for furniture history, technology, connoisseurship, and conservation, featuring contributions from the foremost scholars in the discipline. It is the only interdisciplinary journal exclusively devoted to furniture made or used in the Americas from the seventeenth century to the present.
The 2020 volume of American Furniture covers a diverse range of subjects. An essay by Luke Beckerdite and Jay Stiefel focuses on eighteenth-century Philadelphia woodworkers, including joiner John Head and carvers Brian Wilkinson and Samuel Harding, shedding light on the concept of copying in the carving tradition of the era. Meanwhile, an article by Erik Gronning and Amy Coes reveals a previously unknown and early group of furniture attributed to Newport cabinetmaker Christopher Townsend.
Recognizing the critical importance of accurate wood identification in understanding early American furniture, the volume features an article by Dr. Harry Alden, arguably the leading authority on the subject in the United States. Alden addresses common misconceptions and mistakes in wood identification, providing essential corrections to Benno M. Forman's work on American seating furniture.
The 2020 volume is rounded out by Nancy Goyne Evans' essay, which examines the interaction between woodworkers and the business community that facilitated their trades during the late colonial and federal periods. This insightful piece explores the dynamic relationship between craft shops and counting houses, offering a unique perspective on the economic and social factors that shaped the furniture industry.
Acknowledged as the journal of record in its field, American Furniture continues to push the boundaries of furniture scholarship, presenting pioneering research that enhances our understanding of this rich and multifaceted aspect of American cultural heritage. From the examination of regional woodworking traditions to the intricacies of materials and techniques, each volume of this esteemed publication provides a comprehensive and authoritative view of the evolution and significance of furniture in the Americas.
