Nutting Does It Again for Windsor Chair LoversBy Jack HaymanIf Windsro chair lovers havent taken the to read Wallace Nuttings "Windsor Chairs" they are missing out on one of the most informative work. Nutting provides insight into the styles unique to the American Windsor from 1725 to the mid 1800s. Importantly; he focuses of the distinct differences in style and appearance of major cities. This publication is a valuable resource and required reading for the Windsor enthusiast.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Best FAMOUS Author (and Artist); on Furniture.

There other books that are better; but this is the least expensive.
