Antiquing New York

The first comprehensive antiquing guide to nearly a thousand antique dealers throughout the state of New York, Antiquing New York offers the serious collector and the more casual buyer an insider's view of the dealers in metropolitan New York City, and along the less traveled roads of upstate New York and Long Island. Readers will find all the necessary information they'll need to explore the offerings of New York's myriad dealers. Whether they are looking for an Edison phonograph or an eighteenth century weathervane, antique lovers will be able to locate the stores that have what they want. Arranged in three sections -metropolitan New York, Long Island, and upstate New York- Antiquing New York will be a handy accompaniment to any antiquing adventure, large or small. For Manhattan and Brooklyn, which both have large concentrations of antique shops, dealers are arranged street by street; Manhattan shoppers will also appreciate the neighborhood guide. From a stroll down Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn to a thorough scouring of the shops on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Antiquing New York will show you the way. Outside of metropolitan New York, listings are arranged by town. Helpful appendices for each section list dealers by specialty -from Art Deco furniture to vintage clothing- and by special services such as furniture restoration, repair, appraisal, or authentication.

British Campaign Furniture: Elegance Under Canvas, 1740-1914

Amazon.com Review

"The first axiom for camp is do not make yourself uncomfortable for want of things to which you are accustomed," advised The Complete Indian Housekeeper and Cook in 1890 to high-born Brits living in India, most of which England had by that point colonized through a succession of wars, or military "campaigns," throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. This impeccably curated, insightfully narrated, and richly illustrated volume proves that the homesick subjects of the Raj took such advice deeply to heart. It showcases nearly 200 years of furniture designed expressly to approximate all the refinement of a proper British household inside the canvas tents of ranking officers afar, but also to break down and fold up fast for easy, compact transport (hence campaign furniture's other appellation, "knock-down" furniture). Masterfully put together by independent curator Brawer, previously a researcher in the Indian and Southeast Asian departments of London's venerable Victoria and Albert Museum, this handsome volume succeeds on two levels: it amply highlights the stylistic elegance and technical ingenuity of this kind of furniture--a bureau that becomes a bed when its drawers are removed; a lady's bidet that folds into a leather case; or a dining table seating 20 that fits inside a 10-inch-deep box--while putting it (often quite wryly) in the historical context of an expatriate society that sought to re-create Britain wherever it went and had little or no interest in adapting to or learning about the customs or designs of the people it conquered (and essentially enslaved). Throughout, Brawer includes excerpts from a fascinating array of letters, journals, and other documents of the period, and an excellent pictorial directory of the furniture's craftsmen and manufacturers helps make this impressive tome invaluable for collectors, design historians, Anglophiles, and Merchant-Ivory set designers alike. --Timothy Murphy
