Recensioner i media

As before, it is a compact volume covering a wide range of styles over the last 400-plus years. The book has a wealth of quality color photographs, showing individual examples of furnishings and composites of period rooms. Its illustrative value is backed up with a text that supports the various periods and styles within, plus the particular pieces of popular furnishings. Although the book is formatted more like an academic textbook, its primary audience would appear to be anyone who is actually seeking information about historic pieces of furniture and their interior spaces. Summing Up: Recommended.
