Casa San Ysidro, a restored hacienda in Corrales, New Mexico, is world famous as the home of the remarkable collection of early New Mexico furniture assembled by Ward Alan Minge and his wife, Shirley, along with their equally extensive collection of farm and domestic tools and equipment. Now owned by The Albuquerque Museum, these items have long served scholars and students as an invaluable source of information on life in colonial New Mexico. Today access to the collection is limited to small groups, but this book will be welcomed as the first published record of some of the Minge furniture collection. Photographs and dimensioned drawings of thirty-six of the collection's finest examples of early colonial carpintero craftsmanship along with drawings of fifteen authentic design details will help artisans re-create these classic pieces. Anyone interested in New Mexico furniture design and its evolution will find this book valuable both as a reference tool and as an aid to making furniture whose design and proportions will be true to the originals.
