Furniture-Makers and Consumers in England, 1754-1851Author :
Paperback
Published : Wednesday 2 August 2017
Description
Covering the period from the publication of Thomas Chippendales The Gentleman and Cabinet-Makers Director (1754) to the Great Exhibition (1851), this book analyses the relationships between producer retailers and consumers of furniture and interior design, and explores what effect dialogues surrounding these transactions had on the standardisation of furniture production during this period. This study examines the role of pattern books and their readers; the construction of taste and style through negotiation; and daily interactions through showrooms and other services, to reveal the complexities of English material culture in a period of industrialisation.
