Excerpt from Handbook of Furniture Styles
This work does not pretend to be exhaustive, com prehensive, complete. Whole blocks of facts are deliberately omitted. My problem has been one of selection and elimination. I have endeavored to reduce a large, diffuse subject to lowest terms, to boil it down, to strip it to its essentials, and the reader need look for little more than a working out line.
