It is the aim of this booic to give some idea of the beautiful furniture produced in England be- tween 1680 and 1800 including only what is good in design, and entirely ignoring the debased motives (Chinese and Gothic Chippendale and the work produced by Chippendale and Sheraton under direct French influence) that are of interest only to those who profess an admiration for anything that is old or of high value, however ugly it may be. The photographs for convenience of classifica- tion are divided into broad periods, namely William and Mary, Queen Anne, Chippendale, Adam, Hepplewhite and Sheraton.
