In this survey of seat furniture utilizing upholstery, such as chairs, stools, sofas, and setees, the wellknown needlepoint authority Hope Hanley covers roughly five centuries (15001900) and includes all important styles. She briefly describes Italian, Flemish, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese styles and gives a very detailed account of the various periods in French, English, and American furniture. The characteristics of each style are explained and illustrated in 123 photographs (23 in color) and 95 line drawings, and the various textiles are fully discussed.There is no absolutely unbreakable rules as to what kind of needleworkcanvas or freeform embroideryis the "right" design for a particular furniture style, but certain general principles can be followed. The safest plan is to approximate the kind and color of textile that was fashionable when the furniture style oringinated. For instance, plain materials were used during the Directoire period, stripped fabrics were favored during the Empire, and the florid designs of Berlin work were matched with the ornate examples of Victorian pieces.This book is one that can be triply valuable: professional designers will find it extremelely useful as a source book: it will help the amateur to choose a needlepoint or crewel design that will flatter the piece she wishese to cover; and as a quick introduction to furniture styles it can be used by the general reader.
