This book presents a concise analysis of the many influences on furniture design in the Victorian period both in Britain and the US. Edwards investigates the development of new and traditional materials and innovative techniques and machinery, to show how these changed the face of furniture design and production. The history of furniture has until recently been mostly concerned with individual designers, the aesthetic appreciation of their products and the assumption that furniture is solely a decorative art. Victorian furniture challenges these notions and brings techniques and materials to the forefront of the debate about how design decisions were made. In this clear and concise analysis of the many influences on furniture design in Britain and the United States in the Victorian period the author covers mechanical decoration, veneering, decorative finishes, manufacturing, and patents. The many new techniques and materials developed in this period, such as bentwood, papier mache, metal, upholstery springs, and wicker, are discussed along with the design possibilities they opened up.
