Historic styles in furniture

This account of "Historic Styles in Furniture" was originally issued ten years ago by the publishers of The House Beautiful magazine, mainly for special sale in con- nection with their publication. It received Uttle exploitation in the general market, and its merits did not, therefore, become widely known. The present publishers have believed that there is a distinct place for this vol- ume, containing, as it does, a bird's-eye view of the development of styles in furniture through ten centu- ries, and giving the backgrounds and settings an equal importance with the furniture itself.
