The Chairs of the Queen Anne and Georgian Periods

Queen Anne came to the throne in England in 1702, succeeding William of Orange and Queen Mary. Mary was the sister of Anne, both being daughters of James II. ''Queen Anne'' and ''Georgian'' are simple aristocratic names for the style which the Dutch had obtained from the Chinese, and modified to suit their own needs. This book contains an illustrated catalogue of Queen Anne and Georgian chairs, complete with a historical introduction and descriptions of each piece. A book that will greatly-appeal to anyone with an interest in the furniture of this period and historical furniture in general, this book makes for a great addition to collections of furniture literature and is not to be missed by discerning collectors. We are proud to republish this antiquarian book complete with a new introduction on the history of furniture.
