It presents a complete timeline—correlating political and cultural events to the development of furniture, architecture and artistic movements—and considers the social, political, and economic factors that influenced design trends and individual taste..

Her enthusiasm and knowledge of furniture design and decor is unsurpassed. Stern, AIA"This book is both a wonderful read and an invaluable reference tool.

No designer should be without this book in their library." Louis Postel, Editor and Publisher, Design Times Magaz
