Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Rich in information ... sharp in perception."-- The Times Educational Supplement
In this illuminating history, text and illustrations combine to offer a view of furniture not as a succession of collectors' pieces, but as a statement about the society that created it. Edward Lucie-Smith offers insights into almost every period, from the prehistoric to the postmodern--from Neolithic tables to 1960s conversation pits, and from the ceremonial chairs of Egypt in the thirteenth century BC to the designs of John Makepeace.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 208-209) and index.
