Between about 1870 and 1930 enormous numbers of Europeans emigrated to Canada, among them members of religious and ethnic groups seeking asylum, including Doukhobors, Hutterites, Mennonites, and Ukrainians. The furniture they produced, which is closely related to that made in their native countries, is often painted in saturated, bold colors. This volume is the first to treat this appealing furniture, which has no doubt often been confused with American painted pieces. 114 colorplates.
