Bold, stately, and elegant furniture is revealed in this entirely new survey of design, regional varieties and workshop collaborations in the American East Coast in the early nineteenth century.

Kelly C. and Randall A. Schrimsher began collecting American Classical decorative art in the mid-1980s. Their notable collection comprises hundreds of pieces of furniture by some of the most celebrated cabinetmakers from the key centers of Classical furniture production in the United States: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Past literature on American Classical furniture has studied the production centers in relative isolation; however, this catalogue's approach explores the rich artistic exchanges and rivalries that existed between the four cities including a selection of works by foremost cabinetmakers Duncan Phyfe, Charles-Honoré Lannuier, Isaac Vose, William Hancock, John and Hugh Finlay, Anthony Quervelle, and Joseph Barry. A lively export trade introduced Classical wares from these major centers of production to key ports across the United States such as Washington, D.C., Charleston, New Orleans, and beyond.
