Thesis (M.A.)--University of Delaware (Winterthur Program), 2002.

American furniture historians have long known that eighteenth-century craftsmen constructed tilt-top tables from component parts traded among artisans. They have not investigated, however, the significance of this proto-industrial production in the historical contexts of craft specialization and consumerism. This thesis uses extant tilt-top tables, artisans' records, and newspaper advertisements to demonstrate that tilt-top tables made in America between 1740 and 1790 were the products of complex interactions between artisan-entrepreneurs and consumers driven by the expanding market economy of the British Atlantic World. Urban and rural craftsmen and merchants sold tilt-top tables at finely gauged price differences to Americans of varied financial means who valued their versatility and fashionability. Like ceramics and printed textiles that were produced inexpensively in large volume to sell to increasingly fashion-conscious consumers, tilt-top tables became vehicles for the spread of refinement in America. This thesis breaks from current American furniture studies by emphasizing the benefits of researching one furniture form throughout many regions.
