ENGLISH AND CONTINENTAL FURNITURE with PRICES by David Lindquist and Caroline
Warren, Wallace-Homestead Book Co., PA, 1994.
This comprehensive pictorial guide “answers the need for a reliable guide to
European furniture by providing essential information on the kinds of pieces
seen in good shops and auction houses in America: tables, seating, sideboards
and cellarettes, desks and secretaries, chests, linen presses, highboys,
bookcases, and breakfronts. This excellent reference source covers antique
European furniture from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century, with an
emphasis on eighteenth-century pieces (the most popular on the American
market). Design periods, construction techniques, a history of European style,
how to determine value, and current prices for mote than 400 pictured pieces
are also included. Eight pages of color highlight the rich woods, colorful
tapestries, and artistic details that make English and Continental furniture so
sought after.”
