Painted furniture in period furnishing by Anita de Campi
The author surveys painted furniture as an adjunct of period decoration, noting vast variety across styles and woods. She warns against indiscriminate mixing, praises color harmony and well related forms, and describes Jacobean, Queen Anne, Chippendale, Adam, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton pieces with examples of color, gilding, and motifs used in authentic settings.
