Featuring more than 400 illustrations, this volume provides a visual guide to furniture styles, craftsmanship, design elements, and historical influences that shaped both English and American decorative arts.

This vintage hardcover edition is in good condition overall. The cloth-covered boards remain attractive and structurally sound. The interior pages are complete with age-related toning and a previous owner's inscription. The spine shows slight looseness consistent with age and use. The original dust jacket is present but heavily worn with edge chipping, tears, creasing, and significant shelf wear.
