“This is Ivan Sparkes’ third successful book on the history of English Furniture. In it he examines a broad range of household furniture from the Norman Conquest up to the Regency period, the age of hand-made furniture by true craftsmen, apprenticed to their craft and schooled in tradition. The book embraces all types of furniture and will be an invaluable source book to the history of furniture and the craftsmen who created it down the centuries.”
