This superb guide informs the reader on how to identify and
discover the most gorgeous furniture ever to grace Europe and North
America. With intense descriptions steeped in history and
experience, this book brings the time tested expertise of its
author - New England based antique dealer and specialist Thomas M.
Clark - to the table in a world beating display of descriptive
finesse and passion. Objects from chairs to beds to tables to
cabinets are described in detail, with their making and prominence
properly placed in the context of their time and place of
manufacture. The author aims to arouse interest and natural passion
by including anecdotes of the time, having researched and sourced
poignant quotes and vignettes from the times in which these pieces
emerged freshly worked from quality wood. Together with informing
the reader about the pieces themselves, most of the items described
are accompanied by detailed illustrations.
