CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Wonderful furniture book -
If some one like antique furnitures, you got to have this book. it is very completely and tells you most the styles in the history.

A wonderful reference for those learning the elements of design. -
This is a great visual encyclopedia for learning what parts of furniture and styles from different periods look like. When reading about a reproduction Greek klismos chair with sabre legs or a Louis XV commode with Sevres plaque and riband trim, there is nothing like a visual reference to understand what those words actually mean. Not a light read, but this is an important addition to the bookshelf of anyone really serious about being educated in elements of interior design.

Good -
The condition of the book was very good.
The book itself was not very useful, it had a lot of information and enless you knew exactly what you were looking for it was hard to find

Boring -
This is an encyclopedia of furniture. The information on each subject is limited. It makes a good quick reference, but didn't help me too much..

Good dictionary-style book -
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FURNITURE is more like a dictionary of design terms with pictures of specific furniture pieces. It gives a brief history of the furniture periods, but it will not aide you in learning about the characteristics of the pieces in each style. It is a good choice if you are looking for a quick reference guide with pictures and definitions.
