I'm wondering if anyone has an good recommendations for books on small period items. I own and have borrowed from the library plenty of books on large furniture pieces, but I'm looking for a book with some smaller pieces such as spice chests, tea caddies, table clocks, etc. I'm not looking for plan books, more along the lines of examples that I can design from. Something like the Winterthur collection book of Queen Anne & Chippendale furniture pieces but for smaller items.
 
Bob- There's a catalogue of a spice chest exhibit from the Chester County Historical Society, I think. Also, Kettel's " Pine Furniture of Early NE", or something close to that. The "New England Begins" catalogue has some good early small stuff, but it's pretty hard to find. Nutting's "FUrniture Treasury" has everything, including small stuff. That's what comes to mind at present, hope it's of some use-Al
 
Bob- I was looking for something in Fale's (could be Failey, don't have it in front of me) "Furniture of Historic Deerfield" the other day and noticed quite a few smaller objects in there also-Al
