The author gives a fascinating account of the growth of craft techniques, the work of individual designers and cabinet-makers, as diverse as Oeben, Hepplewhite and Mclntire and describes the constant search for new materials and styles with which to capture the mood of successive ages and cultures. Written particularly for the collector, this title is a companion to Victoriana.
