"There are still many older pieces of furniture available at reasonable prices in South Africa. These items, the popular furniture of the half century 1890-1940, were generally made from solid timber and displayed a high standard of workmanship. Cottage furniture in South Africa deals comprehensively with this type of furniture. The book is a guide to types of wood, pieces of furniture, shops that sell good old furniture and much, much more. 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."
