The first comprehensive survey in over thirty years of American Gothic Revival furniture, decorative arts in all media (porcelain, glass, silver, lighting), paintings, works on paper, architectural renderings, and architectural elements. Through examples produced in America, or specifically for an American market, In Pointed Style explores how Americans of culture and taste embraced a new architectural style that was already sweeping through England. Finding its expression in both public buildings and private homes, the decorative vocabulary of the Gothic Revival was applied to furnishings and vernacular objects. The fashion for Gothic vanished with the Civil War, and today, this style is largely overlooked and poorly understood. In Pointed Style sheds new light on this brief era.
