All,

I am looking for a book devoted entirely (or almost) to William & Mary furniture.  Has anyone come across a book?  Thanks.

There is a new book from the Met due in April '07 (Previously October '06)

"American Furniture in The Metropolitan Museum of Art: I. Early Colonial Period: The Seventeenth-Century and William and Mary Styles (Metropolitan Museum of Art)"

http://www.amazon.com/American-Furniture-Metropolitan-Museum-Seventeenth-Century/dp/0300116470/sr=8-4/qid=1157153292/ref=sr_1_4/102-1314605-4896106?ie=UTF8&s=books
 
Nutting's,  Furniture of the Pilgrim Century  covers that time period and has some good examples.

Hi, Dennis:  A book which has a good deal of what you are seeking is "Country Furniture of Early America" by H. Lionel Williams.  I saw a copy in a public library and then was able to get a used copy at Amazon for a reasonable price.  Hope this helps.  Paul.
