The story of English furniture begins in the sixteenth century, when crude medieval tables and stools gave way to more sophisticated, jointed designs. This book reveals that the Tudor furniture is the earliest to survive. It concludes with a masterclass in detecting the alterations and fakery that can affect the value of a piece of furniture.
