Tunbridge Ware and Related European Decorative Woodwares

Brian Austen

 This is a new and fully up-to-date edition of the standard text on this highly decorative and beautifully crafted Victorian souvenir ware. The text has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout to take account of the latest and most up-to-date research and discoveries. Also included are a number of new photographic illustrations. Unrivalled in its scholarship, the book is invaluable as an aid to identifying examples of decorative woodwares in antique shops, at auctions or as exhibits in museums or galleries. The author, Dr. Brian Austen, is a leading authority and well-known lecturer on the history of furniture and decorative arts in the UK.
