Chaise Manhattan: Antiques Show at the Park Avenue Armory (thepoliticker.observer)
Sitting in our stalled cab on Park Avenue, _The Observer_ stared at the bleary
trail of red taillights lining the street, dotted with the flashing blue of
police cruisers. Like a sad, static firework, traffic had come to a complete
and utter halt. We were running uncharacteristically late, and, as we stared
at the taxi’s now-muted screen our blood pressure began to rise slightly.
Then, approaching 67th Street, we noticed an unusual number of Black SUVs. We
did the some mental arithmetic: election year plus black Suburbans plus Upper
East Side … there was only one explanation: the President was in town.
As we bounded out of our cab, a shivering policeman conducting traffic
confirmed the suspicion. Attending a fundraiser down the block, the President
had snarled traffic headed to the Winter Antiques Show at the Park Avenue
Armory.
Passing beneath the scaffolds sheathing the site, we walked up the palatial
steps and through the thick wooden doors. Just as we were checking our coat,
we noticed **Mayor Bloomberg** and **Diana Taylor** make an early exit.
Perhaps they had a fundraiser to attend. Inside, scores of New Yorkers had
assembled to peek at the antiques. **John** ...

The enduring designs of antique English furniture by Eddie Bent
Desirable -
What is it that makes antique English furniture some of the most desirable in the world? Craftsmanship is one answer. But designers also played a vital role. They worked and studied hard to create great furniture that would long outlive them.
Thomas Chippendale -
Thomas Chippendale (1718 - 1779) was one of the best-known designers of his age. His work has been popular for more than 200 years, and it remains influential even today.
Many of Chippendale's designs first appeared in his book "The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director" of 1754. Within a few years, factories in Denmark, Portugal, Germany, Ireland and America were using the book as the basis of their furniture production.
Robert Adam -
Robert Adam (1728 - 1792) gave antique English furniture unique, highly decorative designs. Although he was an architect, Adam drew plans of interiors and furniture as well. He used ancient Roman decorations as his inspiration to create a style called classical rococo.
Robert Adam, together with his brother James, published a book called "The Works in Architecture of Robert and James Adam". It shows many of Robert Adam's designs at their best.
Thomas Sheraton -
Thomas Sheraton (1751 - 1806) was a furniture maker who, like Adam, used classical motifs in his designs. He made his style of antique English furniture famous when he published "The Cabinet Maker's and Upholsterer's Drawing Book".
Some 600 cabinetmakers across England used this four-volume book to produce furniture in the Sheraton style. Most antique experts believe that Thomas Sheraton never made any of the furniture himself. But his designs became very fashionable in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
George Hepplewhite -
George Hepplewhite (circa 1727 - 1786) designed very elegant furniture, particularly chairs. It's fairly easy to spot a Hepplewhite chair: it often has curved arms, a back in the shape of a shield, and straight legs. There's also very little carving on a Hepplewhite piece. He preferred to use inlaid wood and paint.
A book called "The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer's Guide" appeared two years after Hepplewhite's death. It contains 300 or so of his designs.
Further reading -
The books of the above four designers are still in print. They're a fascinating record of 18th century design.
Nothing can quite match, however, the pleasure of actually owning an original piece of antique English furniture. There's still a reasonable amount around based on the work of Chippendale, Adam, Sheraton, Hepplewhite and others. Perhaps it's time to start or expand a collection?
