Town Furniture of the Cape

Michael Baraitser, Anton Obholzer

Published by C Struik (Pty) Ltd., Cape Town (1987)

original brown boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 224, incl. index; profusely illustrated, incl. a section in full-colour.

Landmark work on this subject. "While the text examines the background of styles and individual pieces such as the Cape armoire, rusbanke, bureaux, tables and chairs, and discusses the influences that various European styles had on Cape furniture designs, the emphasis of this book rests on the visual. Over 900 black and white photographs as well as 30 colour plates have been reproduced to give collectors and historians an outstanding record of the furniture of this period. Town Furniture of the Cape is the most comprehensive work on the subject to date and is without doubt a major contribution to South Africa's cultural heritage.".

A companion volume to Cape Country Furniture.

Some shelfwear to boards and marks to dustwrapper. Age toning. PLEASE CHECK IMAGES FOR CONDITION
