Publisher's Synopsis
In 1929, wicker furniture reached its peak of popularity, not surpassed until today's widespread enthusiasm for antique and modern styles. This is the largest catalog of the pre-eminent wicker and wood furniture manufacturer, Heywood-Wakefield Company.

This book presents 925 examples of Heywood-Wakerfield Co. furniture in one volume, including chairs, sofas, beds, tables, bird cages, planters, desks, wardrobes, suites, and children's furniture. Collectors, dealers, historians and auctioneers will welcome this definitive source of the furniture styles, names, and fabrics as depicted here in their original presentation.
