This comprehensive pictorial guide “answers the need for a reliable guide to European furniture by providing essential information on the kinds of pieces seen in good shops and auction houses in America: tables, seating, sideboards and cellarettes, desks and secretaries, chests, linen presses, highboys, bookcases, and breakfronts. This excellent reference source covers antique European furniture from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century, with an emphasis on eighteenth-century pieces (the most popular on the American market).  Design periods, construction techniques, a history of European style, how to determine value, and current prices for mote than 400 pictured pieces are also included.  Eight pages of color highlight the rich woods, colorful tapestries, and artistic details that make English and Continental furniture so sought after.”
