This antique book contains a comprehensive discussion of the technique
and characteristics of the designers of Empire style furniture. Complete
with easy-to-digest information and a plethora of detailed, authentic
photographs, this book will be of great value to those with an interest
in the furniture of this period and also makes for a worthy addition to
collections of antique furniture literature. The chapters of this book
include: 'Characteristics and Technique of the Style', 'Various Articles
of Furniture and Their Use', and 'Images of and Descriptions of
Furniture'. Many antique texts such as this are increasingly costly and
hard to come by, and it is with this in mind that we are proud to
republish this text here complete with a new introduction on the history
of furniture.
