This book is good for a quick reference. It is filled with sketches that are grouped into categories (chairs, tables, beds).
It can help you identify the style of a piece of furntiture, but doesn’t help authenticating the piece.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great sketches!
this book seems to be pretty comprehensive, and the sketches are great! Wish I had this in college while studying period furnishings!

Get this one. It shows and tells what a novice needs to learn about antique furniture. Also…a great refresher for long-time antiquers.
