Synopsis:

Examines the history of the painted furniture of countries including France, England, Spain, Sweden, and the United States

Review: "Florence de Dampierre has produced a unique and stunning book. Her history is scholarly, precise, highly readable. The photographs from many different sources are superb and most inventively laid out on each page. Highly recommended."--"Choice" "Since the material is organized into countries, you can compare and contrast styles of painted furniture from the aristocratic designs of the French to the folk art motifs of the American colonies. "The Best of Painted Furniture" is an important addition to any library."--"Antique Monthly" "A glossary and a chapter of tips on conservation, restoration and care of painted furniture make this a useful handbook as well as a beautifully illustrated encyclopedia of an enduring style."--"Chicago Tribune"
