Old English furniture and its surroundings, from the restoration to the regency
A collector's survey of English furniture from the Restoration to the Regency, written by MacIver Percival and published by Scribner's in New York in 1920 for antique buyers and decorators. The plates are halftone photographs of single pieces against plain grounds — settees, shield-back chairs, mirror frames with painted and carved ornament — giving clean silhouettes, turned leg profiles, and detail views of inlay, caning, and upholstery trim.
