Synopsis
Excerpt from Early English Furniture and Woodwork, Vol. 1
Modern furniture, even when made from that most durable material, English oak, and when constructed in the logical and stable manner which is so characteristic of the Tudor and Stuart periods, is, nevertheless, perishable, even with judicious wear and usage. When neglect and ill-treatment are added, it is not remarkable that so little, comparatively, of the Tudor and Jacobean furniture has survived to our day; the wonder is that any has persisted, even in the great treasure houses of England. With fashion always as capricious as it is at the present day, out-oi-date furniture, in any form, must have been frequently in jeopardy during the chequered career through which so much of it has passed.
