Authentic Georgian Furniture Designs: Universal System of Household Furniture, 1762 by William Ince, ISBN 0486402959
Excellent reprint of 18th-century cabinet-makers' pattern book, which surpasses all collections of furniture designs in the English rococo style for variety, scope and general superiority. Over 300 finely engraved designs for parlor chairs, claw tables, sideboards, desks, ladies' secretaries, bookcases, writing tables, candlestands, couches, an alcove outfitted with cushions replicating a Turkish sofa, draperies and girandoles; and more. A magnificent sourcebook for antique collectors, craftworkers, artists, and cultural historians.
Priscilla Hauser's Painted Furniture
"The First Lady of Decorative Painting" has already taught more than a million people around the world the pleasures of creative painting, and now she reveals how to turn "seen better days" old furniture into extraordinary works of decorative art. Anyone can do it, simply by following her no-fail instructions. Just trace the patterns and follow the color photographs that illustrate the techniques, from prepping the furniture to adding lifelike illustrations of flora and fauna; from creating distressed and "crackle" finishes to preserving the finished piece with a variety of sealing and trimming methods. The projects include a British Colonial Palm Tree Chair complete with climbing monkeys, a Lollipop Roses Desk, a Fly Fishing Stool, and other beautiful and fun items.

The book's highlights include the ten best chairs of the fifties, inside looks at the homes of top collectors, rare photographs from...
