- Duncan Fife was born in Scotland in 1768, he emigrated to America and changed his name to Duncan Phyfe. He opened a small workshop in New York and quickly became the leading furniture designer of his age. This is a beautiful guide to his finest works. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
