内容简介

在跨大西洋贸易的十字路口创造美国家具风格

该博物馆的藏品以来自费城和宾夕法尼亚州东南部的工匠的家具而闻名，但也包括来自更远的城市和地区的重要实例。每件作品的解释文字都集中在设计来源上，显示了早期美国家具是如何参与国际视觉语言的。沿海贸易带来的加勒比海红木和欧洲进口产品继续影响着当地的生产，从而促进了当地经济的蓬勃发展。到1740年代，费城已经形成了一个独特的习惯，并在风格和美学方面引领着这个发展中的国家。这卷书为研究美国家具的学者提供了重要的资源，阐明了这个新生国家的文化和商业生活，并生动地介绍了捐赠者、策展人，以及从最早到现在塑造了这个机构的人物。

The creation of an American furniture style at a crossroads of transatlantic trade​

American Furniture, 1650–1840: Highlights from the Philadelphia Museum of Art is the first publication dedicated to one of the finest collections of its type in the country. Best known for furniture by artisans from Philadelphia and southeastern Pennsylvania, the museum’s collection includes significant examples from cities and regions farther afield. Interpretive texts for each work focus on design sources, showing how early American furniture participated in an international visual language. A vibrant local economy was bolstered by coastal trade bringing Caribbean mahogany and European imports that continued to influence local production. By the 1740s Philadelphia had developed a distinctive idiom and led the developing nation in style and aesthetics. This volume provides an important resource for scholars of American furniture, illuminates the cultural and mercantile life of the fledgling nation, and offers a lively introduction to the donors, curators, and personalities who have shaped the institution from its earliest days to the present.
