Description: Hearts & Crowns: Folk Chairs of the Connecticut Coast 1720-1840 as viewed in the light of Henri Focillon's Introduction to Art Populaire By Robert F. Trent Published: New Haven Colony Historical Society, New Haven, Conn, 1977., White & gold & decorated wraps, maps on flyleaves. 101 pp. 81+ BW illustrations. Begins with the words of Henri Focillon, and proceeds into the realization of his theories into "the turned chair as an art form." Covers the longevity and sources of the heart-and-crown tradition, and its nuances in the towns of Stratford, Milford, Norwalk, and Guilford, Connecticut. Also considers the challenges of the Queen Anne style and the Chippendale, Federal, and Hitchcock styles. 81 chairs illustrated here. Not Ex-Lib. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
