A comprehensive reference source for anyone interested in Eldred Wheeler furniture. The book contains pictorial and production guides covering all major pieces, along with a narrative history of the companys evolution. The guide includes descriptions of the design process, brought to life through the stories of crafting more than twenty prototypes. An authentication section details the companys labeling and branding practices, and describes identifying characteristics such as unique design and construction features. Because of its comprehensiveness, this volume should be of interest to Eldred Wheeler collectors, fine furniture dealers, designers, woodworkers, and anyone merely interested in learning more about handcrafted furniture. Although the main focus is the furniture, this book also tells an entrepreneurial tale that might intrigue anyone starting his or her own business woodworking or otherwise. Copiously illustrated in full color.
