	APICELLA, MARY ANN. Scottish Cabinetmakers In Federal New York. University Press of New England, Hanover: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The first full-length study of the Scottish community of craftsman in Federal New York. Extensively researched throughout the United States and the British Isles, this lavishly illustrated volume brings to light the influence of Scottish cabinetmakers and designs on furniture made in Federal America. While the Scottish-born Duncan Phyfe has always been recognized as one of the premier makers of Federal furniture, Mary Ann Apicella illuminates the community of craftsmen active in and around Atlantic coast style-centers during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By separating English antecedents and American design trends from those identified by the author as uniquely Scottish in form, ornament, and construction, the particular hallmarks of Scottish aesthetics and craftsmanship become visible. To illustrate these findings, individual chapters devoted to chests of drawers, wardrobes and linen presses, sideboards, desks and secretaries, tables, chairs, and clocks, offer a comparative study of items. To contextualize and personalize these objects, the author includes a discussion of Scottish migration patterns, artistic and social influences, and the cultural epicenter of New York City. Carefully researched, clearly written, and copiously illustrated, Scottish Cabinetmakers in Federal New York is a valuable resource for dedicated collectors and will introduce new enthusiasts. Mary Ann Apicella is an independent scholar who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Virginia School of Law, and attended the Institute of Fine Arts in New York. She has researched and written on topics in nineteenth century decorative arts. She divides her time between the United States and Great Britain. ¶ 200 pages.

	BOHAN, PETER & HAMMERSLOUGH, PHILIP; EISENBARTH, ERIN E. (INTRODUCTION & NOTES). Early Connecticut Silver, 1700 - 1840. Wesleyan University Press: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. The preeminent study of Connecticut's silvercraft, back in print with a new introduction. Early Connecticut Silver is a catalog of the most significant pieces of silver hollowware made by Connecticut silversmiths between the years 1700 and 1840, as well as representative flatware and other pieces such as swords and Masonic jewels. In all, it constitutes an exhibit that could never be mounted in a single museum, and one that proves the authors' conviction that Connecticut silver is distinctive and worthy of comparison to the more sophisticated contemporary styles associated with the silversmiths of Boston and New York City. Features an introduction by Erin Eisenbarth that brings the coverage up to date, incorporating the research done on this subject since the original publication. The book still includes an introductory essay that defines the Connecticut school, and an annotated index of silversmiths known to have worked in Connecticut and an index of the marks used by them. The Table of Contents of this book is as follows: List of Illustrations ¥ Preface ¥ Introduction by Erin Eisenbarth ¥ The Connecticut Silversmith ¥ Tradition and Innovation in Connecticut Silver ¥ Illustrations of Hollowware and Selected Flatware ¥ Biographical Notes on the Silversmiths ¥ Index of Marks ¥ Selected Bibliography ¥ Owners of Pieces Illustrated ¥ Picture Credits ¥ Index of Silversmiths Whose Work Is Illustrated. Peter Bohan was professor emeritus of art history at the State University of New York at New Paltz and published several books on American silver and gold. Philip Hammerslough was a private collector and silver enthusiast. Erin Eisenbarth is the Marcia Brady Tucker Curatorial Fellow in American decorative arts at the Yale University Art Gallery. This book fills a significant niche in the literature on early American silver. Its importance for researchers has only grown since its original publication, and its comprehensiveness makes it an excellent title for scholars and students of the decorative arts.ÑDonald L.

	APICELLA, MARY ANN. Scottish Cabinetmakers In Federal New York. University Press of New England, Hanover: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The first full-length study of the Scottish community of craftsman in Federal New York. Extensively researched throughout the United States and the British Isles, this lavishly illustrated volume brings to light the influence of Scottish cabinetmakers and designs on furniture made in Federal America. While the Scottish-born Duncan Phyfe has always been recognized as one of the premier makers of Federal furniture, Mary Ann Apicella illuminates the community of craftsmen active in and around Atlantic coast style-centers during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By separating English antecedents and American design trends from those identified by the author as uniquely Scottish in form, ornament, and construction, the particular hallmarks of Scottish aesthetics and craftsmanship become visible. To illustrate these findings, individual chapters devoted to chests of drawers, wardrobes and linen presses, sideboards, desks and secretaries, tables, chairs, and clocks, offer a comparative study of items. To contextualize and personalize these objects, the author includes a discussion of Scottish migration patterns, artistic and social influences, and the cultural epicenter of New York City. Carefully researched, clearly written, and copiously illustrated, Scottish Cabinetmakers in Federal New York is a valuable resource for dedicated collectors and will introduce new enthusiasts. Mary Ann Apicella is an independent scholar who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Virginia School of Law, and attended the Institute of Fine Arts in New York. She has researched and written on topics in nineteenth century decorative arts. She divides her time between the United States and Great Britain. ¶ 200 pages.

The preeminent study of Connecticut's silvercraft, back in print with a new introduction. Early Connecticut Silver is a catalog of the most significant pieces of silver hollowware made by Connecticut silversmiths between the years 1700 and 1840, as well as representative flatware and other pieces such as swords and Masonic jewels. In all, it constitutes an exhibit that could never be mounted in a single museum, and one that proves the authors' conviction that Connecticut silver is distinctive and worthy of comparison to the more sophisticated contemporary styles associated with the silversmiths of Boston and New York City.
