The nineteenth century produced dozens of independent designers,
particularly towards the end of the period. As the furniture trade
developed, so manufacturers and retailing split. Catalogues began
to be used in retail shops as they are today. Competition between
retailers and the use of the new design books resulted in a large
number of designs, not only new ones but also a constant looking
backwards to earlier centuries for inspiration. This change in the
structure of the industry made full use of highly individual
interpretations of Gothic, Renaissance, Elizabethan, Naturalistic
styles, Egyptian, Old French, Louis XIV, Louis XV and Italian
decorations, all applied to a wide variety of furniture. The
complexity of the subject is best explained by a very large number
of illustrations and this is the reason why some 6,000 appear
within this book. The Dictionary is made up from forty-nine
contemporary design and pattern books issued by manufacturers such
as Heal s, Smith, Tatham, King, Pugin, M
