Description
More a history of domestic life than simple furnishings, Historic Styles in Furniture is a written and pictorial record of how society has eaten, slept and relaxed over the past thousand years. Observe, in photographs and drawings, how the designs grew heavy and dark as the aristocracy retreated to their castles during conflict, and then, as if a cloud had been lifted, watch the chair legs become thinner and the carvings brighter with the arrival of the Renaissance. Historic Styles in Furniture not only shows us how furniture has evolved but why.
