Excerpt from The Furniture Collector: An Introduction to the Study of English Styles of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
An attempt has been made in the various chapters to visualise the interior 'of the English home as it changed in character from one period to another, by giving from contemporary sources the different pieces of furniture in common use. It is hoped that this treatment will assist the collector to create in his own mind a background against which his possessions will take their appropriate places.
