Description: When Oak was New English Furniture and Daily Life 1530-1700by John FiskeCopyright 2013 - Paperback - Pages 266Beautifully IllustratedMore than 750 photographs of early English furniture, most from private collections not previously published, together with paintings and engravings of the period.John Fiske has been an active antiques dealer for over 20 years and is an accomplished author. When Oak Was New provides an in-depth guided tour of familiar and lesser-known forms for both the novice and experienced collector.When Oak Was New invites readers to look at antique furniture in a new way. In telling the story of English furniture from 1530 to 1700, Fiske blends witty accounts of daily life in Tudor and Stuart England with extensive photographs and close descriptions of the furniture that made those lifestyles convenient and comfortable. He shows that we cannot fully understand the furniture that we know as antique without understanding how its owners used it when it was new, and how a piece of furniture, in turn, captures its historical moment.Excellent Condition - No Rips, Tears, Markings or Missing Pages - Minor Wear to Cover We are offering this book at a low Buy-It-Now price...See our other listings where we have several interesting items up for auction...We will gladly combine shipping if you win more than one...Please check out the photos and send us an email if you have any questions...Thanks...Vince & Janice (VJENERGY)...
