This book delves into the evolution of English furniture during the 17th century, particularly highlighting the shifts from Tudor to Jacobean styles and their subsequent adaptations under the reigns of various monarchs. The primary topic revolves around the characteristics of furniture made from oak and walnut and the influences that shaped these styles over time. The book is structured into several chapters, each examining different historical phases and styles of furniture. Candee elaborates on the artful transition of designs, starting with the solid and functional pieces of early Jacobean furniture and showing how they evolved with influences from other European styles, particularly from France and Portugal, during the reigns of Charles II and William and Mary. The narrative captures not only the aesthetic qualities of furniture pieces, such as chairs and tables, but also contextualizes them within the social and political landscapes of their time, revealing how these factors influenced design choices. The use of illustrations throughout the text further illuminates the craftsmanship and detailing inherent in Jacobean furniture, making the work a valuable resource for collectors and historians alike.
