Furniture
A Concise History
Edward Lucie-Smith
|
‘Rich in information . . .
sharp in perception’ | | – The Times Educational Supplement |
In this illuminating history, text and illustrations combine to offer a view of furniture not as a succession of collectors’ pieces, but as a statement about the society that created it. Edward Lucie-Smith offers insights into almost every period, from the prehistoric to the postmodern – from Neolithic tables to 1960s conversation pits, and from the ceremonial chairs of Egypt in the thirteenth century BC to the designs of John Makepeace. |
