The settlers included predominently English Quakers for the first half century, after which numbers of Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, Welsh Baptists, Irish Quakers, and Germans became equally important and, later, had major influence in the county. The hand made furniture from the county has certain distinguishing features which are explained in the well-researched text, and illustrated in 175 photographs. Hundreds of cabinetmakers and other craftsmen are profiled in detail from their contemporary public records. The work is an important reference for furniture and social historians alike. ; Contents: Acknowledgments -- Foreword -- Introduction -- Alphabetical list of craftsmen -- Characteristics and peculiarities of Chester County furniture -- Side lights -- Bibliography -- Additional craftsmen -- APpendix -- Illustrations of signed and attributed furniture ; FINE.
