8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. January 10, 1979 us By Mary Ann Warkman UPPER CANADIAN FURNITURE To further your knowledge of the furniture of Upper Canada there are several books on the subject. A few of them are: "Early Furniture in Upper Canada Village 1800-1837" and "At Home in Upper Canada" by Jeanne Minhinnick, "The Furniture of Old Ontario" by Philip Shackleton, "Heritage: A Romantie Look at Canadian Furniture" by Scott Symons, "The Early Furniture of Ontario and the Atlantic Provinces" by Barbara and Henry Dobson and other works by Gerald Stevens and Donald Webster. Howard Pain mentions these authors in his recently published volume, "The Heritage of Upper Canadian Furniture". .4Stiidy in the Survival of Formal and Vernacular Styles from Britain, America and Europe 1780-1900. The mammoth volume, with 548 pages including 1347 illustrations is, as proclaimed by its publishers, Van Nostrand Reinhold Ltd., meant for serious collectors as a reference and for beginners as a "gallery" to guide the understanding and bring pleasure to the eye. At $49.95 the book is most certainly meant for the serious. To the novice, the photographs, in colour and black and white sometimes together on a page, are delightful. Letter to Editor December 1978. Dear Mr. James: Please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation for your donation towards our Christmas Appeal. It is only because of generosity of people like yourself that we are able to help others. May the blessings of God be with you throughout 1979. Sincerely, Douglas Lewis Captain. The Salvation Armv Mr. Pain is a former antique dealer who bas collected Canadian furniture for 20 years. His research for the book took him to eight countries photographing over 4,000 pieces of furniture. This short span of time for furni- ture identification is the book's fault according to a review of it in January, 1979's "Quill &Quire" by Phil Dunning (author of "The Canadiana Guidebook"). The text of the book follows an orderly format. Immigra- tion patterns are described with an accompanying fold- out map. The style influences are described which fall into three main categories: 1. the formal furniture styles of Britain and Continental Europe, 2. the traditional- vernacular styles of Britain, Continental Europe and French Canada, 3. the formal and vernacular styles of the American colonies. The following chapters than elaborate on the four major furniture traditions: Anglo- American, Germanic, Polish and French Canadian. The final chapter deals with imported furniture to aid collectors in distinguishing it from pieces made in Upper Canada. Technical notes are also given at the back of the book on the pieces, describing types of wood, original finish, original hardware and dimensions. Some local examples in the book include a slat-back airmchair from Kendal and a rare example of a traditional British hooded cradle from Bowmanville. Both are from private collections. If you don't have the privilege of living with such pieces, some furnishings in the book are housed in museums such as the Royal Ontario in Toronto and Black Creek Pioneer Village in Toronto. Mr. Pain footnotes that even the most ordinary of objects deserve careful preservation. Furnishings which retain their original finish or decoration, whatever the condition, are the most valued of early TELEPHONE 623-6555 JOHN MANUEL, C.G.A.

These should not be altered in any way without expert advice and skilful techniques. Power sanders and strong chemicals are the greatest enemies of early furniture. Also adding to the value of early furnishings is documentation of their origins. Mr. Pain in a recent CBC radio interview suggested that experience and exposure are what lead to knowledgeable collectors and that coectors should become knowledgeable because of the large sums of money spent. He has a reminder of an early mistake of his in the form of a candle table which when purchased at a high price and later examined was not what it was supposed to be.
