Furniture Making in Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century England: An Outline for Collectors book by R. W. Symonds

Beschreibung

Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Some tanning wear and marking due to age. Pages are excellent. Limited signed edition 45 of 100. Slip case has marking. Year 1955. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> All the illustrations have been provided by one collection which is rich in oak and mahogany furniture. Some of the examples are of the greatest rarity, and all are collectors' specimens. They amply illustrate the text. The clocks, though small in number, are all of the greatest horological interest. The four-colour plates of pictures by George Stubbs and Ben Marshall are from the same collection. They are essentially English, and for this reason I have felt that their inclusion is not inappropriate. My thanks are due to Mr Robert G. Langhorn, junior, of Langhorn Brothers, cabinet-makers and restorers, who has given me much valuable advice on the subjects treated in Chapters IV and V. I must also thank the following: Mr D. W. Parkes, whose knowledge of clocks is equal to Mr Langhorn's knowledge of furniture, for elucidating for me a number of obscure points concerning clock movements; Mr C. A. Ilbert for help.
