Antique Garden Ornament by Barbara Israel
Town & Country Magazine, December 1999. In ANTIQUE GARDEN ORNAMENT, Barbara Israel, a noted dealer and historian, corrects any misapprehension you may have that furnishing an American garden with urns, fountains and statuary is primarily a late-20th-century preoccupation.
Filled with Mick Hales' wonderfully evocative photographs, Israel's book comprehensively surveys the history of American garden ornamentation from Colonial times to the present day. Antiques And The Arts Weekly, November 19, 1999.
A scholarly voice has emerged which is bound to have great impact in the field. Barbara Israel's ANTIQUE GARDEN ORNAMENT: TWO CENTURIES OF AMERICAN TASTE is the first serious look at US Garden history and design as they relate to their manmade decorations.
While many books have examined European gardens and ornament and American artistry, Israel, a respected 15-year garden ornament dealer and consultant, takes a classificatory look at this side of the Atlantic--with wonderful results.
