Aprašymas

In an era dominated by disposable objects, contemporary home decorating has had little room for historically significant funriture. In Celebrating Canada, antiques expert Peter Baker illustrates and discusses a collection of historical Canadian antiques and folk art, each with a story to tell. Drawing from a private collection carefully assembled over the past four decades, Baker provides a tour through the past by way of objects from the early days of French settlement to the inspired creativity of late-twentieth-century folk artists. Throughout the richly illustrated pages, pieces from the collection are profiled not only to showcase their artistic merit, but also to define a significant event or period in Canada s development as a nation. This beautiful, accessible volume honours the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation and 375 years of settlement in Montreal. Showcasing Canada s diverse material culture and heritage, Celebrating Canada rekindles appreciation for historical objects that give a unique identity to each home."
