With more than 260 illustrations from examples in the collection of Percival D. Griffiths. Robert Wemyss Symonds FRIBA (31 December 1889 ? 5 September 1958) was a British architect, and "the pre-eminent 20th century scholar and authority on English furniture" Symonds was described by The Winterthur Library as "the pre-eminent 20th century scholar and authority on English furniture", of which he was also an important collector. He designed modern furniture in what he described as the "Modern English Traditional School". He wrote extensively on furniture and also produced several books on antique clocks. Both of his first books, The present state of old English furniture (1921) and Old English walnut & lacquer furniture (1922), were highly detailed treatises on the methods of the fakers that plagued the antiques trade at that time.
