Irish Furniture and Woodcraft examines the development of Irish furniture and woodcraft from prehistoric times to the present day. The story is a fascinating one: the earliest known examples of wrought wood are round-based bowls of willow, poplar and alder which date to 2500 BC, and the earliest piece illustrated in this book is a wooden box dating to about 700 BC, which it is believed was used to hold ornaments. In addition to actual pieces, evidence of early furniture types is also to be found on illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells, and on Irish high crosses, with pieces often depicted in considerable detail. John Teahan examines the changing designs and styles down through the centuries. He focuses particularly on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when a variety of Irish furniture types were in vogue. The book is beautifully illustrated with a cross-section of spectacular pieces, all testimony to the versatility and expertise of Irish craftworkers.

This lavishly illustrated and comprehensive volume is the first devoted entirely to the subject of Irish furniture and woodwork. It provides a detailed survey—encompassing everything from medieval choir stalls to magnificent drawing-room suites for the great houses—from earliest times to the end of the eighteenth century. The first part of the book presents a chronological history, illustrated with superb examples of Irish furniture and interior carving. In a lively text, the Knight of Glin and James Peill consider a broad range of topics, including a discussion of the influence of Irish craftsmen in the colonies of America. The second part of the book is a fascinating pictorial catalogue of different types of surviving furniture, including chairs, stools, baroque sideboards, elegant tea and games tables, bookcases, and mirrors. The book also features an index of Irish furniture-makers and craftsmen of the eighteenth century, compiled from Dublin newspaper advertisements and other contemporary sources.

This study focuses on the various customs and behaviour surrounding the objects which belonged to the majority of the Irish population. Where some were too impoverished to own furniture, it looks at how they managed without it, as well as the interaction of means of survival. The emphasis is placed upon materials, techniques, and makers; within this framework there emerges a functionalism and purity which has no heroes.
