The life and work of Thomas Chippendale

Artline

The vernacular furniture used by ordinary people has only recently been considered a subject worthy of study. In this magisterial book―the first comprehensive scholarly analysis of English vernacular furniture―Christopher Gilbert demonstrates that common furniture possesses as much interest as fashionable pieces made for country houses. 
Gilbert investigates over twenty well-defined vernacular subgroups that have never previously been explored in detail, including furniture made for workhouses, schools, prisons, Quaker meetinghouses, army barracks, alehouses, lunatic asylums, shops, railway premises, and ships. He also discusses such facets of vernacular furniture making as regional differences in the production of chairs and beds; mainstream cottage and farmhouse domestic furniture; and traditional straw and wicker crafts. Although Gilbert’s main focus is on the English vernacular tradition, he also touches on furniture form Scotland, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the channel Islands. He makes extensive use of provincial Books of Price sand various Parliamentary Reports on living conditions that often contain splendidly detailed first hand evidence about domestic interiors, and he has provided numerous illustrations of securely provenanced items to support his text.

This volume, compiled with the active co-operation of many antique dealers, collectors, auctioneers and scholars in the UK and abroad, provides a pictorial record of all known marked items made by London furniture makers between 1700 and 1840. The survey contains over a thousand illustrations supported by background notes on the makers, together with an introduction which examines the reasons why certain firms employed labels, name straps, or engraved brass tablets. This compendium forms an indispensable illustrated companion to Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, co-edited by the author and Dr G. W. Beard, although it has been planned as a fully self-contained work of reference.

History

Maney Pub

A milestone publication of the late Christopher Gilbert's poetry, with an introduction by the National Book Award winner Terrance Hayes 
Lord, the anguish of my Black block rises up in me like a grief. My only chance to go beyond being breach― to resist being quelled as a bit of inner city entropy― is to speak up for the public which has birthed me. To build this language house. To make this case. Create. This loving which lives outside time. Lord, this is time. ―from "Turning into Dwelling" 
Christopher Gilbert's award-winning Across the Mutual Landscape has become an underground classic of contemporary American poetry. Now reissued and presented with Gilbert's never-before-published last manuscript written before his death in 2007, Turning into Dwelling offers new readers the original music and vision of one of our most inventive poets.
