 Wonderful furniture book September 15, 2007

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. August 22, 2007

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.

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

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 June 9, 2000

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.
