About this book
Dutch and Flemish Furniture, by Esther Singleton, is illustrated with numerous images and a frontispiece identified as a bed by Daniel Marot. The account of porcelain describes luxurious ministers sometimes offering precious-metal-mounted pieces as presents to Elizabeth, with examples drawn from her New Year's gifts. The discussion of trade describes Dutch mariners supplying the Spanish dominions in the Low Countries with Oriental wares.
The survey of metalwork says that the Low Countries were almost as celebrated for their goldsmith's work as for their tapestries. The description of less wealthy homes gives the vestibule blue and white tiles on walls and floor, with a carved oak or stone bench facing the door.
