Antique Furniture of Quebec: At the Crossroads of Three Cultures by Michel Lessard,

Antique Furniture of Quebec: At the Crossroads of Three Cultures by Michel Lessard,
"Antique Furniture of Quebec brings together hundreds of sumptuous full-colour photographs illustrating every phase in the history of Quebec furniture and an authoritative text written by Michel Lessard describing and analysing that history. The result is a book that is both a beautiful object and an unparalleled resource. Lessard emphasizes the cosmopolitan and eclectic nature of Quebec society and its openness to outside influences. He draws upon both textual and photographic sources to demonstrate that Quebeckers, from the first years of settlement to the present time, have adopted craft and design ideas from abroad. The three cultures that have historically shaped Quebec society, that of France, Great Britain, and the United States, have naturally been the most powerful influences. Lessard traces their effect while, at the same time, demonstrating the often original and creative response to these influences by Quebec designers, artists, and craftspeople. It's all in these pages: from the ornate and often heavy furniture of eighteenth century France to the primitive, Shaker-influenced pine furniture of rural Quebec, to William Morris and Art Deco and, finally, the Modern era. Of particular interest is the series of homes that the author has tracked down, each typical of a particular era and each preserved with furnishings appropriate to the era in place. By this and other means, Michel Lessard masterfully combines an appreciation of the historical and social context in which furniture is made and used with a thorough understanding of the craft and business of furniture-making. "Furniture," writes Michel Lessard, "is an open book containing a multitude of stories."This lavish and authoritative book is certain to continue telling its stories for years to come.

Antique furniture - Very early humans were nomads, moving from location to location, and survived from only what nature provided. Furniture to them was no more than a log to sit on.

Neo-Victorian - Neo-Victorian is an aesthetic movement which amalgamates Victorian and Edwardian aesthetic sensibilities with modern principles and technologies, originating in and still centered in Japan. Examples of this would include push-button cordless telephones made to look like antique wall-mounted phones, CD players resembling old time radios, Victorianesque furniture, and Victorian-style clothing with Goth, Punk and Rivet accents.

Auction catalog - An auction catalog is a catalog that lists items to be sold at an auction. Auction catalogs for rare and expensive items, such as art, jewelry, postage stamps, and antique furniture, are of interest in and of themselves, for they will frequently include detailed descriptions of the items, their provenance, historical significance, photographs, and so forth.

Desk on a frame - The Desk on a frame or Desk on frame is usually an antique form made up of two pieces of furniture. The first piece is a fairly large and closable portable desk with a slanted hinged top giving access to the writing surface and utility nooks and small drawers.
