Resumen de Texas furniture: : the cabinetmakers and their work, 1840-1800
Geographical isolation kept the lo- cal texas furniture-making industry alive lon- ger than in most other places in the united States. only in the 1880s, when railroads finally crossed the state, did factory-produced furni- ture from Grand rapids, michigan, and other midwestern towns, finally push the traditional makers out of business. the second volume tells of the arrival of texas furniture in the catalog of American art history. before 1975, that is, texas vernacular pieces were unstudied.
