Abstract (en)
Examines the background of the emergence of the colonial form as the national style in American crafts; its wide acceptance marginalized the cultural contributions of ethnic minorities while contributing to the assimilation of immigrants. Notes the role of the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum (New York) in particular, and that of Colonial Williamsburg, in promoting both the Colonial Revival and large-scale manufacturing of reproductions; also comments on New Deal involvement in the Colonial Revival through the WPA. Surveys producers (both artisans and manufacturers) of Colonial Revival furniture, metalwork, textiles, ceramics, and glass.
