  • Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” Charles Darwin. This study is a retelling of a story of mistaken identity that has persisted in the annals of decorative arts for almost a century. The subjects are three examples of exceptional curvilinear chairs made out of exotic wood and forged in the great change and cultural upheaval in the first third of the nineteenth century in the United States. The form of these chairs has been assumed to belong to a later generation, but the analysis in the pages that follow attempt to restore their birthright as an earlier transitional step in the evolution of American furniture. These three curvilinear chairs – significantly different in design from earlier nineteenth-century forms – are remarkable as they exemplify how exquisite the curvilinear form could be in its early stages. Despite the fact that these chairs are an important link in furniture history, they have not been fully appreciated by either scholars or connoisseurs. Although there were many curvilinear chairs produced in the period, this study will focus on three remarkably similar examples: The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s side chair (68.202.1); the Merchant’s House Museum’s twelve side chairs (2002.2012.1-12); and, finally a set of sixteen owned by a descendent of the New York cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe (Cat. 46 in An Elegant Assortment: The Furniture of Duncan Phyfe and His Contemporaries, 1800-1840).1 It has been suggested this set was 1 The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s curvilinear side chair (68.202.1) is described on website: “As craftsmen transitioned from the Early to the Late Grecian style (the latter is also referred to as the Grecian Plain Style), they began to incorporate more curvilinear shapes and new 2 made by Duncan Phyfe for his daughter Eliza Phyfe Vail.

ROWLAND METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART ;> <J <) PUBLISHED FOR THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART BY DOUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY GARDEN CITY NEW YORK 1923 COPYEIOHT, 1922, BY DOUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, IKCLUDING THAT OF TRANSLATION INTO FOREIGN LANGUAGES, INCLUDING THE SCANDINAVL\N PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES AT THE COUNTRY LIFE PRESS, GARDEN CITT, N. Y. Art Library NH fSCZ FOREWORD Duncan Phyfe is the only early American cabinet-maker to whom a very large group of furniture may be attributed on documentary grounds. Much of the attribution to other American cabinet-makers is based upon purely circum- stantial evidence, but in the case of Phyfe there exist docu- mented examples of practically every type that is shown herewith. The aim, therefore, has been to present at least all the general known types of furniture from Phyfe's best period and as many variations of these types as space would permit. It has also been attempted to place this art-craft of the Early Federal Period in the United States against the back- ground of the time, thus to relate the utilitarian art to the influences—artistic, social, and economic—which controlled to a large degree the forms which it took. The book has been a result of the assembling of material for an exhibition of the work of Duncan Phyfe at the Metro- politan Museum of Art in New York.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This materia! was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. Wniie the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heaviiy dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
