Queen Anne came to the throne in England in 1702, succeeding William of
Orange and Queen Mary. Mary was the sister of Anne, both being daughters
of James II. ''Queen Anne'' and ''Georgian'' are simple aristocratic
names for the style which the Dutch had obtained from the Chinese, and
modified to suit their own needs. This book contains an illustrated
catalogue of Queen Anne and Georgian chairs, complete with a historical
introduction and descriptions of each piece. A book that will
greatly-appeal to anyone with an interest in the furniture of this
period and historical furniture in general, this book makes for a great
addition to collections of furniture literature and is not to be missed
by discerning collectors. We are proud to republish this antiquarian
book complete with a new introduction on the history of furniture.
