"A Cultural History of Furniture presents an authoritative survey from ancient times to the present. The set of six volumes spans 4,500 years of furniture in its physical, social and cultural context. Each volume discusses the same themes in its nine chapters: Designs and Motifs; Makers, Making and Materials; Types and Uses; the Domestic Setting; the Public Setting; Exhibition and Display; Furniture and Architecture; Visual Representations; and Verbal Representations"--
