American Case Furniture in the Mabel Brady Garvan and Other Collections at Yale

"Yale University's collection of American case furniture is one of the major collections in the country. Its strength derives from its broad geographic and temporal diversity, and from its inclusion of both masterpieces of American furniture and more humble examples of American cabinetmaking...This catalogue contains detailed entries and photographs of 233 objects in the collection ranging in date from the 1650's to the 1950's, though the majority of the objects date before 1850."
