American Rococo, 1750-1775: Elegance in Ornament

"American Rococo, 1750-1775" is an interesting, beautifully illustrated book on a fascinating period in the history of American design. Well written, informative chapters deal with silver, trade printing, furniture, architectural and decorative carving, and other disciplines. I've enjoyed this book for years, and still am pleased to own it. For people who are interested in American art, craft, and design from the mid-18th century, it is well worth seeking out.

If you are a historian, this book is for you. If you are an artist, this is not the book for you.
