Victorian & Edwardian Furniture
John Andrews
This book contains 1,100 illustrations of all types of furniture, in styles from Gothic Revival to Edwardian Sheraton and Art Nouveau. It explains many of the mysteries behind the most prolific period in furniture history, taking a sympathetic but shrewd look at the styles, the construction and the market's assessment of an enormous range of pieces. This book discusses furniture that is available to the collector rather than museum pieces. It provides an objective guide to what is sought after and what is unpopular. Fine quality and cheap mass production are described in succinct terms which assist the reader to understand the complexities of a confusing period and to judge his or her own preferences.
