2004.004.0062Description
This concise history treats furniture not as a succession of collectors' pieces but as a statement about the society that created it, ranging from the ceremonial chairs of Egypt in the 13th century BC to the curious chairs in animal form designed in our own day. Includes chapters on the following periods: Ancient Egypt, Western Asia, Greece and Rome; the middle ages; 1500-1600; 1600-1700; 1700-1800; 1800-1850; 1850-1914; 1914-1942- and 1942 to the present.
