"The Walnut Collector" is a comprehensive guide dedicated to the appreciation and identification of antique walnut furniture, primarily focusing on the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Written by MacIver Percival, this work serves as an essential resource for enthusiasts and collectors seeking to understand the distinct qualities, craftsmanship, and stylistic evolution of walnut pieces during their golden age.

The book delves into various types of furniture, including chairs, tables, chests, and cabinets, highlighting the intricate veneers and marquetry that define this period of design. Percival provides practical advice on how to recognize genuine period pieces, evaluate their condition, and distinguish authentic works from later reproductions. By focusing on the nuances of wood grain, construction techniques, and historical context, the text offers a deep dive into the artistry of cabinetmaking.

Rich with historical insight, "The Walnut Collector" bridges the gap between casual interest and expert knowledge. It emphasizes the aesthetic beauty and enduring value of walnut as a medium, making it a valuable addition to the library of any serious decorative arts collector or furniture historian interested in the heritage of fine woodworking.
