To document this rich heritage of locally made furniture, Miss Ima Hogg, the well-known philanthropist and collector of American decorative arts, enlisted Lonn Taylor and David B. Warren to research early Texas furniture and its makers. After more than a decade of investigation, they published \u003ci\u003eTexas Furniture\u003c\/i\u003e in 1975, and it quickly became the authoritative reference on this subject. An updated edition, \u003ci\u003eTexas Furniture, Volume One\u003c\/i\u003e, was issued in the spring of 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTexas Furniture, Volume Two\u003c\/i\u003e presents over 150 additional pieces of furniture that were not included in \u003ci\u003eVolume One\u003c\/i\u003e, each superbly photographed in color and accompanied by detailed descriptions of the piece's maker, date, materials, measurements, history, and owner, as well as an analysis by the authors. Taylor and Warren have also written a new introduction for this volume, in which they amplify the story of early Texas furniture. In particular, they compare and contrast the two important traditions of cabinetmaking in Texas, Anglo-American and German, and identify previously unknown artisans. The authors also discuss nineteenth-century Texans' desire for refinement and gentility in furniture, non-commercial furniture making, and marquetry work. And they pay tribute to the twentieth-century collectors who first recognized the value of locally made Texas furniture and worked to preserve it. A checklist of Texas cabinetmakers, which contains biographical information on approximately nine hundred men who made furniture in Texas, completes the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lonn Taylor, David B.
