A handsome reference for anyone who loves old furniture — this illustrated guide by Tim Forrest walks through how to identify period, detail, and design across chairs, tables, and case pieces, with consulting editor Paul Atterbury. Cutaway diagrams and close-up photography label the tell-tale features (crestings, splats, foot styles, timbers) that date a piece, making it as useful for a collector or dealer as it is handsome on a coffee table. Navy cloth boards with gilt spine lettering, in the original illustrated dust jacket.
