Used this textbook for my History of Furniture class...a great reference that I will keep when I finish the class as well. Glossary for terms is really weak but there are a lot of pictures demonstrating pieces.
Wonderfully Educational

This book is wonderfully educational. It takes you back to the beginning of furniture and walks you through the centuries providing you with the intial inspiration through Modern design. Great pictures too.
Ms. Crochet has done her homework.

If you are passionate about the origins of furniture and design, this is the resource for you. Pricey, yes, but I don't think it was meant for the casual home decor reader. It is more suited to the "die-hard" lover of furnishings, design history, and serious learners.I love it. It seems to fill a void; and promises to be the "definitive" book on the subject of furniture through the ages.
Outstanding resource for designers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Ms. Crochet has demonstrated an unique ability to bring what is ordinarily a complicated subject to an easy to understand appreciation of the design of furniture throughout the ages. It is understandable why this book recently won an award from ASID (American Society of Interior Designers). A great find for anyone who is interested in applying this knowledge to an interior design project, collecting antiques or furniture. For the pro and the amateur alike.This book helps to understand the relationship between furniture design, architecture, and interior design. Great illustrations, photos and easy to read!I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of The Antiques Road Show or HGTV.
