Description

x, 54, [449 plates] pages. Index of proper names. "A very important contribution to the history of early European furniture." - Foreword. "The printed furniture designs illustrated here constitute perhaps the most accessible, cohesive, and valuable body of visual evidence for the aspirations and achievements of both furniture designer and cabinet-maker during the period which begins with the sixteenth century and ends, in England, with the execution of Charles I, in France with the Fronde, and in Germany with the Peace of Westphalia." - Introduction. Minor soiling to top edge, otherwise clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. A quality copy of this treasured reference. Please note: isbn on copyright page, 0901286052, is apparently incorrect.
