A sharp, crisp and clean copy. "This book examines the pieces found in humbler urban and rural homes over a span of some four centuries, throwing fresh light on such aspects as regional variations, dating assessment, construction techniques, stylistic influence and context. Each of the many examples illustrated, most of them previously unpublished in book form, is accompanied by a detailed caption giving full information on timber, a realistic date range and an extensive description, including such details as local characteristics, finish, distinctive decorative features and manufacturing methods." "In this second edition both the format and the text have been thoroughly revised and the number of illustrations greatly increased."--Jacket.
