| Summary | "Illustrated History of Furniture" by Frederick Litchfield is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of decorative furniture and woodwork from ancient times to the present day. It provides a comprehensive overview of various styles and influences throughout history, aiming to present an informative panorama that appeals to both casual readers and those with a deeper interest in furniture design." "The opening of the text introduces the premise of the work, emphasizing the author's intent to chronicle the changes in furniture design over the ages. The preface highlights that the illustrations included are drawn from authentic examples, with the narrative structured to reflect historical and social modifications that shaped furniture styles in different cultures. Litchfield suggests that while the book serves an educational purpose, he acknowledges the limitations in covering every period in depth and encourages readers to approach the initial chapters, particularly on ancient furniture, as a general introduction rather than an exhaustive examination."
