It goes further than any book has attempted before, creating a continuum to underline the importance of the late Recency style favoured by George IV, moving through to the first two decades of the twentieth century, with a host of ever-changing styles and fashions. Payne studies the influence of the exhibition era, trade catalogues, retailers and subcontractors, and sheds light on the often-unidentified makers of reproduction furniture that later became an important part of the market. He also illustrates the importance of the revival styles, a fundamental part of the furniture trade that has often previously been ignored and shines the light on makers and suppliers of the popular Rococo Revival, 'Queen Anne' and 'Chippendale' styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the makers' names are familiar to furniture collectors, such as Collinson \u0026amp; Lock, Edwards \u0026amp; Roberts, Gillow, Holland, Maples and Morris \u0026amp; Co., but many are less so and their work is explained and presented here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Payne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788841743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788841740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Acc Art Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.60w x 1.90d","brand":"Christopher Payne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052754891007,"sku":"9781788841740","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b118c43f-2d82-404c-a8be-36e90e1f3e31.jpg?v=1685020565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/british-furniture-1820-to-1920-christopher-payne-9781788841740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
