About this book
Furniture design from the earliest reliable records down to the 1890s is traced in this illustrated survey by Frederick Litchfield, dated 1893. The pictures follow chronological order and come from pieces in museums and private hands, with room interiors showing how furniture stood in each period. The text links changes in style to history, manners and architecture. Fuller treatment goes to furniture from the reign of James I to Chippendale's day, to French luxury pieces from the late seventeenth century to the Revolution, and to the last three chapters; the opening chapter on ancient furniture only introduces the rest.
