The story of English furniture

This exciting study of English furniture by Bernard Price is now available for the first time in hardcover. Lavishly illustrated with over a hundred clear line drawings, it traces the development of furniture making in England and the growth of craftsmanship and design from the days of the anonymous medieval joiner, through the era of the cabinet-maker and the golden age of Chippendale and Hepplewhite, up the modern unit furniture of today. It can be used simply as a valuable work of reference or read from cover to cover as a story-a story of England’s heritage which embraces social history, craftsmanship and achievement.
