Too often a fine antique is cherished for its monetary value in one case, for its esthetic valued in another. The author believes the owner will cherish both home and antique more when they know the story behind each. Departing from the custom usual in books on decorating or antiques, the author has portrayed the story of the architectural and decorating periods in the US and has tried to depict the people living in them.
