The Encyclopedia is both a highly informative guide and a lavishly illustrated socio-historical study. This chronological survey shows hundreds of examples of the four major furniture groups: chairs, tables, sofas, and desks. Over 750 full-color photographs from museums, antique dealers, auction houses, and private collections accompany the authoritative text. An essential reference work for both the amateur and experienced collector and anyone interested in the history of western furniture during the last 500 years.
