This review is from: Chinese Household Furniture (Paperback)
This is the 1962 Dover-reprint of the work first published by Harper & Br. (1948). Essentially a catalogue of Chinese furniture photographed in Peking in 1937-1938. Starting off with an introduction of some 60 pages, George N.Kates presents 112 pieces of furniture, each by a black&white photograph and a short description. If nothing else this book shows that the Chinese certainly made beautiful and interesting furniture.

Lao's review,
By "hdaveno" (Shoreline WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese Household Furniture (Paperback)
A must have for anyone who studies, collects or bulds Chinese furniture. The introduction covers the history and evolution of tables, chairs, wardrobes, cupboards, chests and beds. The remainder of the book shows black and white photos of traditional style furniture, with descriptions and dimensions of each piece.
