Duncan Phyfe (1768-1854), known during his lifetime as the 'United States Rage', to this day remains America's best-known cabinetmaker. Establishing his reputation as a purveyor of luxury by designing high-quality furniture for New York's moneyed elite, Phyfe would come to count among his clients some of the nation's wealthiest and most storied families. This richly illustrated volume covers the full chronological sweep of the craftsman's distinguished career, from his earliest furniture - which bore the influence of his 18th-century predecessors George Hepplewhite and Thomas Sheraton - to the elaborately embellished Grecian pieces that were entirely his own.
