3.0 out of 5 stars
Very thorough but a bit dated and overpriced,
By Oavde "oavde" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dictionary of English Furniture Vol I, II, & III (Paperback)
This is a very thorough overview of English furniture through the ages, however it is very, very expensive, the pictures are old, black and white and not the best quality, and I believe you can get better value by spending the money on several other newer volumes, especially if you focus on the area that interests you (e.g design, construction, a specific time period, or an overview of antiques).
I wish it would be updated with better photos etc.. in which case it would be worthwhile even at this price (around $200) ... I am tempted to do one myself. I have seen more up to date works in other countries (e.g Portugal) at half the price, leather bound with fantastic colour photos. The way it is, you can put together a better collection from other works. However if you need an general and complete overview of English furniture this is quite good. Also I would recommend you look it over in a store (library?) before purchasing it. It really depends on what you are specifically looking for, and at this price it is a good idea to check it out beforehand. |
