Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the arrangement of this work, it will be found that the subject has been divided into four periods. The first, dating from 1500 to 1660, comprising furniture that can be attributed to the Renaissance and its evolution from the Gothic, may be termed 'The age of oak'. The second, from 1660 to 1720, where the change is varied by the Restoration and Dutch influence, followed by a distinctly assertive English spirit, may be called 'The age of walnut'. The third period, where the introduction from France of fesh ideas in design clearly marked another change, lasting from 1720 to 1770, which we call 'The age of mahogany'; and the fourth, from 1770 to 1820, inspired by an affectation for all things classical, combined with a curiously unbalanced taste, can best be described as 'The composite age.' -- Preface, v.1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the year that George I was crowned King (1714), furniture made from a new wood was appearing all over the great houses of England.

Complete with fascinating information and a wealth of detailed photographs, this text is sure to appeal to those with an interest in the history of furniture, and makes for a worthy addition to collections of such literature. We are proud to republish this antique text here complete with a new introduction on the history of furniture."

Download or read book A Cultural History of Furniture in the Age of Exploration written by Christina M. Anderson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 16th and 17th centuries in Europe witnessed a significant paradigm shift. Rooted in medieval beliefs and preoccupations, the exploration so characteristic of the period stemmed from religious motives but came to be propelled by commerce and curiosity as Europeans increasingly engaged with the rest of the world. Interiors in both public and private spaces changed to reflect these cultural encounters and, with them, the furniture with which they were populated. Visually, furniture of this period displayed new designs, forms and materials. In its uses, it also mirrored developments in science, technology, government and social relationships as prints became more widely distributed, the Wunderkammer developed and there was religious strife and resistance to absolute monarchical rule. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, this volume presents essays that examine key characteristics of the furniture of the period on the themes of Design and Motifs; Makers, Making, and Materials; Types and Uses; The Domestic Setting; The Public Setting; Exhibition and Display; Furniture and Architecture; Visual Representations; and Verbal Representations.

Download or read book Furniture Makers and Consumers in England 1754 1851 written by Akiko Shimbo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the period from the publication of Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Makers' Director (1754) to the Great Exhibition (1851), this book analyses the relationships between producer retailers and consumers of furniture and interior design, and explores what effect dialogues surrounding these transactions had on the standardisation of furniture production during this period. This was an era, before mass production, when domestic furniture was made both to order and from standard patterns and negotiations between producers and consumers formed a crucial part of the design and production process. This study narrows in on three main areas of this process: the role of pattern books and their readers; the construction of taste and style through negotiation; and daily interactions through showrooms and other services, to reveal the complexities of English material culture in a period of industrialisation.
