In this wide-ranging survey, the history of Western furniture is revealed through the unrivaled collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
What makes the V&A's collection unique is its extraordinary range and quality. There are fine examples of 15th-century Italian cassone; 17th-century French Boulle marguetry; items by designers and makers such as Chippendale in London and John Henry Belter in New York; famous pieces like the Great Bed of Ware; and icons of design like Charles Rennie Mackintosh's designs of the Glasgow tea rooms.
With an informative text and illustrations of many masterpieces, this book is both a history and a reference book of Western furniture.
