About This Item
New York: Clarkson N. Potter, Inc, 1968. First. Hardcover. VG. Black boards, red cloth spine with black lettering, cream DJ with black lettering and color illustration; 230 pp plus 420 plates on unnumbered pages. From the dust jacket: This book covers the development and period of predominance of the English Rococo Style in furniture, exemplified by the first and longest part of Thomas Chippendale's career, up to the time when rococo was ousted by neo-classicism. The author also deals with the careers of Chippendale's most serious rivals: Vile, Cobb, Hallett, Pierre Langlois, and John Channon. Another chapter is devoted to the cabinet-makers and designers, such as Vardy, Lock, Ince and Mayhew, Johnson, Linnel, Manwaring and others, whose published furniture designs, together with those of Chippendale, can perhaps be called the blue-prints of English Rococo furniture style.
