5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely canonical history of oak furniture, UK and USA, 12 Jul 2005
By Andy Dingley "andy_dingley" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book, but more than that it's the _standard_ reference book on oak furniture. Extensively illustrated, it's commonly used as a thesaurus of patterns and styles, so that pieces are often described as "like the illustration on page 555 of Chinnery".

It's mainly about the "oak period" of English furniture, up to the Restoration. Quite unusually it also goes beyond this, describing the less fashionable pieces that remained in oak or ash even into the Georgian period. There's also some interesting comparison with early colonial-period furniture from New England.

It's an expensive book, but it's so good that it really is worth it.
