great sketches!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
this book seems to be pretty comprehensive, and the sketches are great! Wish I had this in college while studying period furnishings! Elements of the furniture are categorized by origin and style, great reference.
Great Info book!

Get this one. It shows and tells what a novice needs to learn about antique furniture. Also...a great refresher for long-time antiquers.
Good Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is good for a quick reference. It is filled with sketches that are grouped into categories (chairs, tables, beds).It can help you identify the style of a piece of furntiture, but doesn't help authenticating the piece.
Hundreds of detailed drawings!

Excellent and easy to use reference book, illustrates styles in thier purest form. Does not treat the subject of authenticity but notes characteristics and idiosyncracies of various examples.
