Product Description
The first comprehensive survey in over thirty years of American Gothic Revival furniture, decorative arts in all media (porcelain, glass, silver, lighting), paintings, works on paper, architectural renderings, and architectural elements. Through examples produced in America, or specifically for an American market, In Pointed Style explores how Americans of culture and taste embraced a new architectural style that was already sweeping through England. Finding its expression in both public buildings and private homes, the decorative vocabulary of the Gothic Revival was applied to furnishings and vernacular objects. The fashion for Gothic vanished with the Civil War, and today, this style is largely overlooked and poorly understood. In Pointed Style sheds new light on this brief era.

Insight into a Overlooked Design Period September 27, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Provides superb photos of furniture from the period. It is a pity that more was not done with paintings and architectural drawings, but since it is a catalog from a gallery show not a museum show there were, no doubt, limitations on what could be borrowed. After seeing these real antiques I was inspired and reassured to purchase two reproduction chairs resembling the cover photo on the book. Up until now the only reference I had was the catalog from the 1976 Houston Museum oif Fine Arts show, whose catalog is of a lesser quality and smalller size as regards reproduction, but better on provenance details.
