Cottage Furniture in South Africa - John Kench

Excellent condition. Internally clean and tightly bound.. Binding: Laminated Hardcover.

"While most antiques are beyond the means of the average buyer in South Africa, there is still a lot of older furniture available at reasonable prices. These items - the popular furniture of the half century 1890-1940 - were generally made from solid timber and display a high standard of workmanship despite mass-production. Such furniture is once again in great demand, since it represents very good value for money by today's standards; and - when stripped to the natural wood - it not only harmonizes with 'cottage' décor but is also compatible with most other styles of interior decoration. … This book is the first of its kind, and will be welcomed by furniture enthusiasts, amateur restorers, and everyone who is interested in interior decoration."
