Catalog of Furniture and Decorative Accessories
Abstract: The Index of American Design, arranged into ten parts, was
created to compile and eventually
publish a visual survey of the objects of decorative, folk, and popular
arts made in America from the time of settlement to about 1900.
Special techniques were evolved for the 15,000 drawings, or renderings,
and they were produced with astonishing skill by American artists
creating effects of texture, form and color more vividly realistic than
photography.
The Catalog of Furniture and Decorative Accessories is Part 6 of this collection. Furniture, clocks, door stops, fire screens, mirrors and frames, trunks and hat boxes, vases and wall pockets are among the represented.
