Description:
A fine clean copy of "A History of English Furniture", by Percy MacQuoid, originally published between the years 1904 - 1908, and long out of print, original copies being now both rare and costly. This edition, published by Bracken Books of London in 1988 includes for the first time in one volume, the complete text and all 900 plus illustrations, including all of the color plates. MacQuoid divided the history of English furniture into four periods; The Age of Oak, 1500 - 1660, that period of the Renaissance when furniture evolved from the Gothic forms of the Middle Ages and decorative furniture was for the first time gradually introduced into private houses : The Age of Walnut, 1660 - 1720, the period in England from the Restoration of Charles II to the death of Queen Anne which saw Dutch influence at it's height : The Age of Mahogany, 1720 - 1770, when the new ideas from France and French influence on furniture design first began to be felt in England, and finally, The Age of Satinwood, 1770 - 1829, the classical age of furniture design known best for the work of Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Sheraton. Techniques of research and information have changed greatly since this superb work was first published, but these four volumes remain in both presentation and scope the benchmark against which all other books on English furniture are measured and judged. Hard covers, Ultra large format, 416 pages, original dust jacket. Ref. AHOEFPM/D6. FREE DELIVERY WITHIN MAINLAND UK : FULLY INSURED WORLDWIDE SHIPPING VIA ROYAL MAIL AIR FREIGHT.
