Description - Furnishing Louisiana: Creole and Acadian Furniture, 1735-1835 by Jack D. Holden
From the early eighteenth through the mid-nineteenth centuries, distinctive cabinetmaking traditions developed in the Mississippi River valley through a melding of French, Anglo-American, Caribbean, and Canadian influences. A visually stunning book, Furnishing Louisiana presents a comprehensive catalog of furniture forms produced in the upper and lower Mississippi River valley, along with contextual essays on the cabinetmakers who created early Louisiana furniture; the hardware and the woods, native and exotic, employed in their craft; the art of inlay as it developed locally; the import trade at the Port of New Orleans; and the interior of the early Louisiana house. This volume stands as a tribute to the region's cultural diversity and remarkable artistry.
