Furniture Glossary IllustratedPaperback: 384 pages When the Dictionary of Furniture was introduced, it was hailed as the definitive reference work on the subject. The entire world history of furniture--the eras, styles, manufacturers, artisans, designers, craftsmen, unique pieces, and definitions was brought together in one volume. In a comprehensive listing of entries from "Aalto, Hugo Alvar Henrik" to "Zui Weng Yi," Boyce shows readers about furniture styles, construction details, terms, furniture designers, and design movements throughout history and throughout the world. He includes information on European-inspired classical, baroque, rococo, pop, and modernist styles, among many others.  A useful guide to buying furniture is included, and offers advice on budgeting, how to juggle space restrictions, how to ensure against fraud, and what to do if you are unhappy with a purchase.
