5.0 out of 5 starsDuncan Phyfe Neoclassical Furniture; an Episode in the History of Art and Design
By William R. on December 21, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Individuals fascinated with the history of visual design (architecture, interior decoration, and furniture) have always wished for a fuller account of Duncan Phyfe's career and furniture designs. His name is famous, but facts on his workshop, and ways to authenticate works attributed to him only by their appearances, have been mostly a mystery. His many craftsmen-employees made his furniture designs from 1793 to 1843; many pieces still survive; but only nine have shown up with Phyfe's paper labels. Which un-marked pieces, out there somewhere, are truly his?

Peter Kenny (furniture curator, head of Metropolitan Museum's American Wing) has led a team of researchers for facts on Phyfe's career, and, for physical and artistic traits that identify his work. Kenny's team was able to link pieces of furniture to Phyfe by means of old documents and physical facts. This book gives sixty-seven full-page color images from the Metropolitan's new loan exhibition on Phyfe. Two hundred smaller images accompany the narrative; bibliographic citations serve students; and an index tells topic locations. Major sections first describe the growth of Phyfe's large New York chair-making and cabinet-making facility with a storefront reception room where he took customers' orders, and then other major sections treat those same furniture pieces in the contexts of the economic-history of New York's cabinet-making trade; the art-history style-phases that Phyfe worked within; and the social-history of the wealthy clients who bought his furniture.

This book tells an important episode in the history of art and design, and its descriptions of physical and artistic traits of Phyfe's work will long serve as best field guide for detecting his designs.

5.0 out of 5 starsWow!
By Missy on July 13, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is the definitive book on Duncan Phyfe and his furniture. Beautiful pictures, detailed text, almost as good as going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in person! I was recently at the museum and saw the book in the bookstore. I didn't buy it there because it was so big and heavy that it would have made my luggage overweight for the plane. I ordered it after getting home.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Beautiful Met Museum Catalogue
By frederick j. brookwell on December 14, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This volume is a large and detailed catalogue of a show displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Duncan Phyfe. It has a massive amount of detailed information on Phyfe and 100's of pictures of his work. I have not found any other books on Phyfe so detailed and complete. Just a beautiful book.
