{"product_id":"9781788841740","title":"British Furniture : 1820 to 1920: The Luxury Market by Christopher Payne","description":"British Furniture 1820 to 1920: The Luxury Market, written by celebrated furniture historian Christopher Payne and including over 1,000 superb photographs, is a landmark publication and the first book to comprehensively assess British furniture design from the early origins of the so-called Victorian era through the myriad of influences in vogue up to the 1920s. It goes further than any book has attempted before, creating a continuum to underline the importance of the late Recency style favoured by George IV, moving through to the first two decades of the twentieth century, with a host of ever-changing styles and fashions. Payne studies the influence of the exhibition era, trade catalogues, retailers and subcontractors, and sheds light on the often-unidentified makers of reproduction furniture that later became an important part of the market. He also illustrates the importance of the revival styles, a fundamental part of the furniture trade that has often previously been ignored and shines the light on makers and suppliers of the popular Rococo Revival, `Queen Anne' and `Chippendale' styles.?Some of the makers' names are familiar to furniture collectors, such as Collinson \u0026amp; Lock, Edwards \u0026amp; Roberts, Gillow, Holland, Maples and Morris \u0026amp; Co., but many are less so and their work is explained and presented here for the first time.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312906744181,"sku":"9781788841740","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781788841740.jpg?v=1762824379","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781788841740","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
