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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient and Modern Furniture and Woodwork As wood is the material of Which furniture for domestic use has generally been made, thereare, of course, limits to its endurance, and not much furniture is to be found anywhere older than the renaissance. Objects for domestic use, such as beds, chairs, chests, tables, &c., are rare; and have not often been collected together. The museum of the hotel de Cluny, in Paris, is the best representative collection of woodwork anterior to the quattro or cinque cento period the end of the fifteenth and begin ning of the sixteenth centuries. Some carved and gilt carriages belonging to the last century are also there; and a set of car riages, carved and gilt, made for state ceremonials, used during the latter part of the last century and down to the days of the empire of Napoleon ILI. Are, or were till the war of 1870, kept at the Trianon at Versailles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Furniture Book: With a Sketch of Past Days and Ways Oak panelling, like everything else, passed through various periods and styles. In Queen Elizabeth's time the panels were carried to within about two feet Of the cornice; then, after some years, there came a division into lower and upper panelling, the upper beginning at about the height Of the back Of a chair from the floor. Pictures became more common, and they were frequently let into the upper panelling, and then it was discarded altogether, only the lower half or dado being retained. This, too, after some years, became Old-fashioned, and the board known as skirt ing, or base-board, was all that was left Of the hand some sheathing which extended from the floor. Almost to the ceiling. This Old oak panelling was entirely without polish or varnish Of any kind, and grew with years and dust almost black in colour. Sometimes it was inlaid with other woods, and Often it was made for the rooms where it was placed. Where the panels are carved, they are generally bought in that state and set in plain framework by the household joiner. If, however, the frame is carved and the panels plain, they were made to suit the taste and purse Of the owner Of the mansion. Oak panelling took the place Of the arms, tapestry hangings, and crude wood-work Of earlier times. Of course it was adopted by the rich and luxurious, for it rendered more air-tight the draughty buildings.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Furniture in the Middle Ages and Under Louis XIII A consecutive and complete history of French furniture - complete in that it should not leave out the furniture used by the lower middle classes, the artisans and the peasants - remains still to be written; and the four little books of this series are far from claiming to fill such a gap. And yet they will perhaps usefully fill their modest place by giving some hints and ideas, as accurate as possible even though very elementary and simple, to those who appreciate the excellent work wrought by old-time joiners out of walnut trees and cherry trees and oaks. The present passion for those plain pieces of furniture that six or eight generations of the folk of Lorraine, of Provence, of Gascony or Normandy have polished by use and filled with their humble treasures, has more legitimate foundations than the mere craze for running after a fashion and the astute advertising of dealers: they are practical, their solid strength is proof against the lapse of years - if we dared, we might say their soul is dovetailed to their frames - their material the "bon bois vif, sec loyal et marchand," spoken of in every article of the Statuts et ordonnances des maistres huchiers-menuisiers, is often most admirable.
