The eighteenth century is rightly spoken of as the 'Golden Age of
furniture-making', with some of the world's most impressive and
exquisite furniture having been produced during this time. This lovely
little book contains a detailed treatise on the eighteenth century
furniture styles from Baroque to Rococo. A wonderful book full of
detailed photographs and intricate descriptions, this text will be of
great value to those with an interest in historical furniture and is not
to be missed by the discerning collector. The chapters of this book
include: France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Sweden, The Netherlands,
Britain, and America (Colonial Period). Many antique texts such as this
are increasingly rare and costly, and it is with this in mind that we
are proudly republishing this text here complete with a new introduction
on the history of furniture.
