British Furniture 1820 to 1920 is the first book on the subject for
several decades and the only book ever published to span the
century from 1820 through to 1920. It creates a continuum to
underline the importance of the late Recency style favoured by
George IV, moving through to the first two decades of the 20th
century, with a host of ever-changing styles and fashions. Payne
illustrates the importance of the revival styles and copies: a
fundamental part of the furniture trade that has often previously
been ignored. Many of the makers' names are familiar to furniture
collectors, such as Gillows, Hollands, Collinson & Lock, Morris
& Co. and Maples. However, the importance of others, such as
Baldock, Blake, Trollope, Hindley & Wilkinson, Hamptons or
Lenygon & Morant - as well as a host of provincial makers - is
explained. British Furniture 1820 to 1920 - The Luxury
Market is a landmark publication and arguably the first book to
properly assess British furniture design through the whole of the
Victorian era. It goes further than any book has attempted before
by filling in important research particular for the latter half of
the century. It shows that what is often termed simply, and
once pejoratively, as ‘Victorian’ is often of an earlier date,
commencing in the revered Regency period of the 1820s. Christopher
Payne considers each decade, adding important new research and
building a huge archive of text and images. The book contains in
excess of 1000 colour photographs and also an important compendium
of makers names and details.Â
