Covering the period from the publication of Thomas Chippendale's
The Gentleman and Cabinet-Makers' Director (1754) to the Great
Exhibition (1851), this book analyses the relationships between
producer retailers and consumers of furniture and interior design,
and explores what effect dialogues surrounding these transactions
had on the standardisation of furniture production during this
period. This was an era, before mass production, when domestic
furniture was made both to order and from standard patterns and
negotiations between producers and consumers formed a crucial part
of the design and production process. This study narrows in on
three main areas of this process: the role of pattern books and
their readers; the construction of taste and style through
negotiation; and daily interactions through showrooms and other
services, to reveal the complexities of English material culture in
a period of industrialisation.
