Originally published in 1934, this is an exhaustively detailed
guide to the history of English furniture, copiously illustrated
with black and white photography and many illustrations, and is
highly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of anyone with an
interest in the subject. Many of these earliest books, particularly
those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce
and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works
in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original
text and artwork. Contents include: The Historical Background of
Design 1500-1700; The Historical Background of Design 1700-1934;
Furniture Design Under the Wood Workers 1500 1660; Furniture Design
Under Fashion, 1660-1730; Furniture Design Under the Architects
1730-1830; Furniture Design Under the Romantic Movement and the
Furniture Trade 1830-1900; Furniture Design Under the Antique
Dealers and Artist-Craftsmen 1900-1920; The New Materials and Their
Effect on Design; The Patient Art of Buying Furniture; Books About
Furniture and Design.
