It goes further than any book has attempted before, creating a continuum to underline the importance of the late Recency style favoured by George IV, moving through to the first two decades of the twentieth century, with a host of ever-changing styles and fashions. Payne studies the influence of the exhibition era, trade catalogs, retailers and subcontractors, and sheds light on the often-unidentified makers of reproduction furniture that later became an important part of the market. He also illustrates the importance of the revival styles, a fundamental part of the furniture trade that has often previously been ignored and shines the light on makers and suppliers of the popular Rococo Revival, 'Queen Anne' and 'Chippendale' styles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome of the makers' names are familiar to furniture collectors, such as Collinson \u0026amp; Lock, Edwards \u0026amp; Roberts, Gillow, Holland, Maples and Morris \u0026amp; Co., but many are less so and their work is explained and presented here for the first time.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Payne \u003c\/b\u003eis an independent furniture historian, author and broadcaster.
