A comprehensive and fascinating volume which traces the
chronological development of furniture design from the work of
Inigo Jones in the 16th century to the work of Sheraton in the
early 19th century. Illustrated with 3,500 drawings (some
engravings reproduced from the pattern books of the great
designers, and others specially drawn by the author) of such
once-common household items as Chippendale and Hogarth chairs,
dials, cisterns, windows, clocks, cabinets, tables, bedsteads,
chests, and screens. This is a wonderful reference book for both
the dealer and the collector. Originally published in 1908. Thomas
Arthur Strange is also the author of An Historical Guide to French
Interiors, Furniture, Decoration, Woodwork and Allied Arts.
