The exhibition will highlight the incredible range of designs, colours, forms and uses in English furniture dating from 1680 to 1850. A full colour catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
As the history of English furniture reveals, so many different woods, sourced from all over the world, were used by cabinetmakers, craftsmen and artisan joiners to produce the finest furniture in England’s history. Today, fine and practical pieces are sought after, admired and in daily use in so many homes. Now antique furniture is back in vogue, desirable not just for its many fine, practical and decorative qualities and its longevity, but also its new affordability.
Bookcases, cabinets, chests, coffers, tables, desks, four-poster beds, seating furniture and much more will all be on sale, demonstrating the full range of superb craftsmanship that continues to make the best antique furniture so appealing, practical and decorative.
