This man was so incredible and designed things that are being used today. I recommend this book to anyone who likes N.E. artists, painters, and the beautiful rooms he painted in many N.E. homes. His murals are truly wonderful. So very talented. He ran into Moses Eaton while during a mural in N.H., saw his stenciling, and then they both began to paint together. This all takes place in the 1700's. Oh would I have loved to find their work while taking off wallpaper. What a treasure that would be! ( Amazon customer)

The sinuous lines, abundant flowery carving, white marble and red plush that characterize Victorian Rococo furniture of the 1850's and 1860's are nearly always called to mind by the words" victorian furniture". But even as the Rococo revival reached the pinnacle of popularity in America's pre-Civil War parlors, the seeds of its downfall were being sown by a group of English design reformers, among them Charles Locke Eastlake, whose influence brought a "new look" of rectilinear simplicity to American furniture int he 1870's and 1880's. The relatively simple and functional lines of this new"art furniture" were in marked contrast to the curved shapes, heavy naturalistic carving and ostentatious decoration of earlier styles.
