Review by Sarah E. Mitchell

The History of Furniture: Twenty-Five Centuries of Style and Design in the Western Tradition begins with the furniture of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome and ends with the Art Deco and Surreal furniture styles of the 1930's. It focuses primarily on European furniture styles, some of which have influenced American styles.
