The new Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture, prepared by Mr Edwards with the assistance of Mr Edward Joy. For convenience of reference, cabinet-makers and other craftsmen are now grouped together at the end of the book, instead of being dispersed as formerly throughout the text. Although it has always been termed a Dictionary, it is in reality a great deal more. The object of its authors, from the inception of the work, has been not merely to provide a reference to pieces of furniture, technical processes, furniture designers, cabinet-makers and so on, but to give the reader an insight into the history of English domestic furniture and its place in changing social habits. There are approximately 1,900 in this volume. Some examples have been substituted as being finer or more representative. The text has been re-set and in every way this Shorter Dictionary is a worthy successor to the original great work. Size: Lge 4to. 1900 Illustrations / Photographs (illustrator).…
