Book Title18th Century English Furniture : The Norman Adams Collections
Dewey Decimal749.22/09/033
Intended AudienceTrade
SynopsisThe 18th century was a period when British design and craftsmanship reqached its pinnacle yet there are curiously few books on the subject. This work illustrates and discusses over five hundred of the finest (and sometimes most unusual) pieces making it an important reference., The book contains some 475 black and white and 56 colour photographs, accompanied by detailed and informative captions. The illustration of so many fine pieces, as well as unusual items, superbly photographed, would in itself have earned this book a place on the shelves of anyone seriously interested in the subject. But there is an added bonus. A firm like Norman Adams prospers by the skill of the selection in buying - a 'good eye' - and it is this essential facility, succinctly expressed in the captions to the pieces in this book, which will ensure its lasting reputation as an important work of reference.
