Download or read book Illustrated History of Furniture written by Frederick Litchfield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated History of Furniture: From the Earliest to the Present Time It will be obvious that within the limits of a single volume of moderate dimensions it is impossible to give more than an outline sketch of many periods of design and taste which deserve far more consideration than is here bestowed upon them; the reader is, therefore, asked to accept the first chapter, which refers to Ancient Furniture and covers a period of several centuries, as introductory to that which follows, rather than as a serious attempt to examine the history of the Furniture during that space of time. The fourth chapter, which deals with a period of some hundred and fifty years, from the time of King James the First until that of Chippendale and his contemporaries, and the last three chapters, are more fully descriptive than some others, partly because trustworthy information as to these times is more accessible, and partly because It IS probable that English readers will feel greater interest in the Furniture of which they are the subject. The French meubles de luxe, from the latter half of the seventeenth century until the Revolution, are also treated more fully than the Furniture of other periods and countries, on account of the interest which has been manifested in this description of the cabinet maker's and metal mounter's work during the past fifteen or twenty years. There is evidence of this appreciation in the enormous prices realised at notable auction sales, when such Furniture has been offered for competition to wealthy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Furniture Book: With a Sketch of Past Days and Ways Oak panelling, like everything else, passed through various periods and styles. In Queen Elizabeth's time the panels were carried to within about two feet Of the cornice; then, after some years, there came a division into lower and upper panelling, the upper beginning at about the height Of the back Of a chair from the floor. Pictures became more common, and they were frequently let into the upper panelling, and then it was discarded altogether, only the lower half or dado being retained. This, too, after some years, became Old-fashioned, and the board known as skirt ing, or base-board, was all that was left Of the hand some sheathing which extended from the floor. Almost to the ceiling. This Old oak panelling was entirely without polish or varnish Of any kind, and grew with years and dust almost black in colour. Sometimes it was inlaid with other woods, and Often it was made for the rooms where it was placed. Where the panels are carved, they are generally bought in that state and set in plain framework by the household joiner. If, however, the frame is carved and the panels plain, they were made to suit the taste and purse Of the owner Of the mansion. Oak panelling took the place Of the arms, tapestry hangings, and crude wood-work Of earlier times. Of course it was adopted by the rich and luxurious, for it rendered more air-tight the draughty buildings.
