Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Furniture From the 16th to the 19th Centuries: A Guide for the Collector Many thoroughly genuine ple-ces of furniture of course exist which are devoid of this most desirable surface-con dition, but the wise collector leaves these alone, whilst the less critical man will do well to eschew them until he is an advanced judge. The patinated condition, in fact, constitutes not only a hall-mark, but an added beauty, just as an old-fashioned lawn excels all those of modern creation, given similar conditions and surroundings. T\this falling short may be due to one or more of a host of reasons. The example may have been neglected or have stood in a damp or an exposed position, such as a stable, a barn, or an outhouse, and in mentioning this it IS cui'ious how old Jacobean chests, for instance, are frequently found in stables acting as corn-bins.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Furniture and Its Surroundings: From the Restoration to the Regency In many cases, however, they are not seen to the best advantage, because they are only too often arranged in a milieu which is totally unsuited for them, and thus not only is the general effect less good than it should be, but the beauty of the individual pieces is obscured. Seventeenth century pewter on a Sheraton sideboard, Chippendale chairs with covers of printed linen copied from the design of Jacobean needlework hangings William and Mary stools covered with Louis Seize striped brocade are combinations which are not seldom seen among the belong ings of collectors who should know better. Fine pieces are, of course, fine anywhere, but when placed in their right environment new beauties show themselves, while others, though individually less beautiful, may be invaluable when filling their proper purpose in a well thought out scheme.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early English Furniture and Woodwork, Vol. 2 The next type, Fig. 2, which also belongs to the thirteenth century, is where the front is formed with very wide upright styles fixed ush to the centre and acting as huge clamps. The tenons of the central panel are secured in the mortises of these vertical clamps by large wooden pegs, which are here allowed to project, and are finished Off as ornamental features. The entire front is fixed to the Sides with heavy wrought-iron nails. This chest is rare, for its date, in being ornamented with roundels and geometrical devices in chip-carving. As a rule, thirteenth-century chests are plain, and tracery was never applied. This Earl Stonham chest is supported on large runners, kept well away from the ends to minimise any tendency to sagging of the bottom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Styles in Furniture The British Museum contains illuminated manuscripts dating back to the ninth century. From these priceless records and from wills of the period the home of the anglo-saxon thane has been deciphered. Fragments from many sources have been fitted together and a fairly clear picture has resulted. The ham, or home, contained one large apartment called the heal which served as a dining, living, and sleeping room. Adjoining it was the bower, or chamber, reserved for the ladies of the household. The ball was sparsely furnished. A board laid upon a trestle formed the dining-table. Benches and stools were the common seats and were used by all members of the family, except the lord and his lady who occupied two rudely constructed chairs. The walls were hung with walk rifts, or wall cloths, which served as a protection from wind and rain. The rafters were covered with a ceil cloth, from which our word ceiling is derived. In the center of the floor was the hearth, the smoke of the fire escaping through a louvre. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Furniture Designers of the Eighteenth Century N the present volume I have endeavoured to trace the history of English furniture from the reign of William and Mary to the early years of the nine teenth century. The illustrations (most of which have not appeared before) present choice examples of the Queen Anne School, the brothers Adam, the Chippendales, Sheraton, Shearer, and Hepplewhite. I have not reproduced any fanciful designs from the illustrated catalogues issued by eighteenth-cen tury cabinet-makers, but have preferred to give illustrations of pieces that were actually made and are to-day the cherished possessions - by inherit ance or purchase - of time-honoured families or dis criminating collectors.
