I went online to Amazon and found this copy at a VERY reasonable used price..Any antique furniture buyer will tell you it is so very hard to keep the details of different unique makers marks straight while out and about looking at furniture. Seeing antique furniture, no problem. You can spot it a mile away. But to get up close and discover where was it made, possible makers, era, etc. You really need to have the details at your finger tips.One good example is Chippendale. With the claw and ball example, there were many makers here in the Eastern states who made the claw and ball feature. Each state almost has its unique way of making its claw and ball different. Just slightly enough that if you did not know, someone could tell you the piece was manufactured in New York by a famous maker...when the features, very slightly would suggest an older date from say, PA.When I saw this book advertised it said over 1700+ pictures and I thought that may be wishful thinking! But indeed, this book is so full of drawings to accompany the features that it is very clear in demostation what to look for in your furniture. These are not full color photos, but rather line drawings which actually work better when you are looking at style rather than one particular example.I especially enjoy the way the book is categorized by era. It helps to show each era and how furniture changed with the era. The first chapter on the History of American Furniture is very informative!I will not ever be without this book again when looking at furniture! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An important reference book *by P***R on April 5, 2024* This book was a lifesaver for my wife, who is working to session objects into a museum collection and needs to describe antique furniture. This book clearly and concisely identifies sometimes obscure characteristics that are still important for the item descriptions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great condition!! *by M*** on April 8, 2024* The book literally had 3 pages marked with the top corners bent. Other than that, it is in the condition of a new book. It has a great amount of detail and I've learned a lot from it so far. It definitely helped me narrow down the time period for the piece of furniture I have. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/64245146-field-guide-to-american-antique-furniture-a-unique-visual-system](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/64245146-field-guide-to-american-antique-furniture-a-unique-visual-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
