Cowboy High Style: Thomas Molesworth to the New West

by Elizabeth Clair Flood

"A handsome, sophisticated look at the best of the breed--designer Thomas Molesworth." --San Francisco Chronicle
From authentic Thomas Molesworth collectibles to new western furnishings, Cowboy High Style presents the solid and fanciful designs of furniture makers who are leading today's western revival.
Bowlegged cowboys, buffalo silhouettes, bucking horses, Indian teepees, antlered elk--all icons that symbolize the rugged West. These, plus sensual natural woods, vibrant leathers, and colorful woven wool fabrics, are the raw materials of western casual elegance featured in this book.
Elizabeth Clair Flood, a San Francisco native and graduate of Georgetown University, is a freelance writer living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Her articles have appeared in magazines such as Architectural Digest, Cowboys and Indians, and West. She is the author of Old-Time Dude Ranches Out West (Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 1995.)

This book walks us through the history and impact of Molesworth's iconic designs on American culture and future designers. His impact went far and wide and continues today. Excellent collection of photographs, beautifully coordinated with history and other reference. Fantastic topical read.
