This book explores the captivating evolution of English furniture from the Elizabethan era to the late Georgian period. More than a mere historical account, it uniquely emphasises the construction techniques employed by English carpenters, joiners, and cabinet-makers.
Divided into three distinct sections, the book charts the progression from oak, through walnut, to mahogany, rosewood, and satinwood furniture. It showcases a comprehensive range of furniture types, from grand cupboards and beds to elegant chairs, tables, and refined accessories such as long-case clocks and dressing glasses.
Enhanced by numerous illustrations and detailed diagrams, this revised edition offers valuable insights for connoisseurs, craftsmen, and anyone with a keen interest in beautiful craftsmanship and English heritage. It's a celebration of artistry and technique.
