Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Style in Furniture IT is not the pretension of this work, as will be understood when its dimensions are remarked, to provide a complete and exhaustive history of furniture, but Simply to convey a knowledge of those national types that are still to be met with, in original form, in the auction sale-rooms, the dealers' shops, the country cottage, or the old family mansion; and which are being perpetuated even to-day by the labours of the designer who draws upon time-honoured sources for inspiration. The study of our domestic furnishing as it was prior to the end of the sixteenth century belongs rather to the field of remote antiquarian research, which interests but comparatively few people, and, on that account, has not been included in the present volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Know Period Styles in Furniture: A Brief History of Furniture From the Days of Ancient Egypt to the Present Time, Illustrated With Over 300 Typical Examples and a Brief Description of Each Period A knowledge of period styles in furniture is as necessary to those who would properly furnish a home as a knowledge of grammar is to those who would speak correctly. All period styles have a history and an exceedingly interesting one. The historical styles in furniture are those that have stood the test of time; they were not created in a day, but were gradually developed to fit the needs of civilization and society; a change in government or religion has always been reflected in the character of the furniture. No new style has ever been created without a knowledge of some older one and probably never will be. The student of furniture may delve into the mysteries of design as deeply as he may desire and always find something interesting and instructive, but the busy man or woman, the clerk in the furniture store or the salesman on the road must have the information necessary for them to understand the general arrangement and char acteristics of period styles placed before them in as brief and compact a manner as possible. It is believed that the follow ing pages will accomplish this purpose in a better manner than any other book now published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Collect, Old Furniture I have endeavoured to trace the changes in style and fashion from Antique to Mediaeval, from Mediaeval to Renaissance, and from Renais sance to Modern, but in the following notes I have attempted to give the reader some descriptions of the various kinds of furniture, made in different countries, from the sixteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century, omitting the earlier periods. As examples of the latter are seldom seen except in museums, they are, for all practical purposes, unobtainable by the collector of ordinary means. I have tried to convey by explanatory hints and suggestions, advice which may enable the reader to select the example of the period he is in search of, and avoid the imitation and the sham.

This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of English Furniture of the Historic Periods The output of books upon furniture, English and foreign, has of late years acquired a very large volume, and the work of almost every period has been described and illustrated, often many times over. But amid this extensive and ever-growing literature there 13 still no work of reference which, with simplicity and brevity and in a handy form, defines the meaning and scope of the technical terms and historical allusions to be found upon almost every page of any book dealing with furniture. N 0 subject, and this, perhaps, least of all, can profitably be studied without a clear understanding of the descriptive language which has grown up around it. Dictionaries are of little help to the general reader and of still less to the student, and the lack of anything in the nature of a reasonably full and systematic Glossary of English Furniture, embodying the names and dates of the great exemplars of the famous English styles, led the authors to make this attempt to fill the gap.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated History of Furniture: From the Earliest to the Present Time It will be obvious that within the limits of a single volume of moderate dimensions it is impossible to give more than an outline sketch of many periods of design and taste which deserve far more consideration than is here bestowed upon them; the reader is, therefore, asked to accept the first chapter, which refers to Ancient Furniture and covers a period of several centuries, as introductory to that which follows, rather than as a serious attempt to examine the history of the Furniture during that space of time. The fourth chapter, which deals with a period of some hundred and fifty years, from the time of King James the First until that of Chippendale and his contemporaries, and the last three chapters, are more fully descriptive than some others, partly because trustworthy information as to these times is more accessible, and partly because It IS probable that English readers will feel greater interest in the Furniture of which they are the subject. The French meubles de luxe, from the latter half of the seventeenth century until the Revolution, are also treated more fully than the Furniture of other periods and countries, on account of the interest which has been manifested in this description of the cabinet maker's and metal mounter's work during the past fifteen or twenty years. There is evidence of this appreciation in the enormous prices realised at notable auction sales, when such Furniture has been offered for competition to wealthy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Present State of Old English Furniture This book is the outcome, therefore, of a desire to help the collector by pointing out the lines along which the Author worked and which have led him to the conclusions presented in these pages, so that the amateur may begin his career as a collector with a certain knowledge which the author ventures to think could otherwise only be obtained by long experience. The Author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to all those who have so kindly permitted the illustration of pieces of furniture from their collections, and especially to Mr. Percival D. Griffiths, who has been more than generous in this respect. His thanks are also due to Mr. J. De Haan, for some valuable information concerning recipes used by the imitator; to Mr. Cooper of Messrs. Cooper 65 Humphries, for his care and skill in photographing most of the examples illustrated; and, finally, to Mr. J. H. Elder-duncan and Mr. J. Chichele Plowden, for their suggestions during the compilation and revision of the manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
