Etat : New. Heal and Sons publication based on the PhD by Oliver S Heal the grandson of Ambose Heal. The histories of Heal's in general don't give you much of an overview of the range of furniture production prewar. This book fills that gap with a plethora of information about the shop, how it was run, the Mansard Gallery plus a detailed investigation into the furniture produced in house and by outside companies including an appendix at the rear that lists the model number and quantity produced. Invaluable for collectors and dealers alike. Beautiful production with excellent photographic illustrations plus line drawn illustrations from the companies catalogues.

Overseas postage is quoted for parcels up to 2kg (2-3kg for the heavier books). If your parcel weighs over 3kg I will contact you to agree extra postage. If the actual postage is much less than quoted I will refund the difference. Book.…
