This vintage book contains a complete guide to English furniture, with
information on the major fashions, evolution of techniques, popularity
throughout history, and other related aspects. Highly accessible and
full of interesting and useful information, this volume will be of
considerable utility to those with an interest in antique furniture, and
would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related
literature. Contents include: "The Historical Background of Design
1500-1700", "The Historical Background of Design 1700-1934", "Furniture
Design under the Woodworkers 1500-1660", "Furniture Design under Fashion
1660-1730", "Furniture Design under the Architects", etc. Many vintage
books like this are becoming increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive.
We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality
addition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the
history of furniture.
