Gothic architecture is a style of architecture that flourished during
the high and late medieval period. It evolved from Romanesque
architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Although
primarily an architectural movement, the Gothic style permeated many
levels of society - not least the decorative arts. This text contains a
detailed treatise on Gothic furniture, including information on history,
manufacture, materials, and much more. Easy-to-digest and informative,
this text will greatly appeal to anyone with an interest in historical
furniture and makes for a worthy addition to collections of such
literature. We are proud to republish this text now complete with a new
introduction on the history of furniture.
