DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Canadian Woodworker and Furniture Manufacturer, 1915, Vol. 15 Ihe imagination and passion for elegance of which his meager life deprived him blossomed into form and shape of beautiful and magnificent mahogany de signs, inlaid with festoons of satinwood and polished to a mirror-like reflection to decorate the beautiful homes of the rich. Sheraton himself lived his whole life as a poor man. Lie did not care to become rich, and in all probability would not have been able to have accomplished it had he tried to, as Adam Black, for a short time an assist ant to Sheraton, says he lived in a poor street in lo11 don, his house half shop, half dwelling. Sheraton did not use much carving on his designs; the decorative effect was mostly brought out by the use of marquetry and inlay, which characterized his style more than that of any other English style. Dur ing the Sheraton period veneered mahogany was chiefly used for the simpler pieces and satinwood for the more elaborate. Harewood and amboyna were also used and applied in veneers over cheaper and more easily worked woods. Shortly before the end of the century rosewood, necessarily mainly used in the form of veneers, also became increasingly popular.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCanada's furniture history includes hitherto unrecognized work of international significance in modern design. In this richly illustrated study, Virginia Wright brings such accomplishments to the fore, employing archival photographs and original documentation to trace the development of professional furniture design, design education, and design advocacy in Canada from 1920 to 1970.Chief among the milestones were the production in Ontario in the mid-1920s of moulded plywood seating for assembly halls, and the world's first moulded plastic furniture produced in prototype by the National Research Council in 1946 - three years before the more famous designs by Charles Eames in the United States. Within a narrative framework, Wright charts the development of modern design from its first appearance in an Eaton's department store, with pieces brought from the Paris Exposition of 1925, through its stealthy entry into Canadian homes, to its establishment as a dominant style. She shows how the introduction of modern industrial materials such as steel tube, rubber, and plywood into the production of commercial and institutional furnishings, and their incorporation into modern decor, reached a wide public through exhibitions and the media. Wright also reveals the relative neglect of this facet of Canada's art history by its museums and galleries, which, after featuring new furniture made in Canada, failed to acquire any for their own permanent exhibitions or study collections. The first account of Canada's innovative furniture design and fabrication of the period, Modern Furniture in Canada, 1920 to 1970 opens the door to a whole new field of study.
