""The Furniture of Our Forefathers"" is a two-volume book written by Esther Singleton that explores the history and design of furniture in America from the 17th to the 19th century. The first volume covers the colonial period, from the arrival of the first settlers in the early 1600s to the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783. The book includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of furniture styles, materials, and construction techniques, as well as the social and cultural contexts in which they were produced and used. Singleton also includes biographical information about prominent furniture makers and designers of the time. This book is a valuable resource for historians, collectors, and anyone interested in the history of American furniture and design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
