This first complete, lavishly illustrated introduction to tansu has served since its publication in 1981 as the most authoritative guide for anyone who owns, or dreams of owning, one of these fine pieces of traditional Japanese cabinetry. As the popularity of tansu has increased among collectors and lovers of fine furniture, so has the demand for this vital information on connoisseurship and care. The Heinekens' book covers everything from the history of these unique furniture designs, to the materials used in their construction, to tips on how to select, refinish, and maintain them. This first softcover edition of the work includes a new preface outlining developments in tansu collecting over the past two decades, and updated information on tansu care. If you are contemplating purchasing a tansu or want more information about one you already own, this the book you need.


French by Design by Betty Lou Phillips, ISBN 0879059729

The enduring appeal of French-country style spans the centuries, a gracious mingling of elegance and ease. After years of largely echoing the furniture, fabrics, and accessories linked with the region of Provence, these days French country is often far removed from the primitive images that hearken back to the early seventeenth century. Room by room, FRENCH BY DESIGN reveals the secrets to creating a contemporary French-country look, including textiles, furniture, floor coverings, window treatments, color palettes, wall treatments and lighting, thus allowing anyone to bring the look home.
