Publisher's Synopsis
Gothic architecture is a style of architecture that flourished during the high and late medieval period. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Although primarily an architectural movement, the Gothic style permeated many levels of society - not least the decorative arts. This text contains a detailed treatise on Gothic furniture, including information on history, manufacture, materials, and much more. Easy-to-digest and informative, this text will greatly appeal to anyone with an interest in historical furniture and makes for a worthy addition to collections of such literature. We are proud to republish this text now complete with a new introduction on the history of furniture.
