Edward Lucie-Smith is the author of several books, among them Sexuality in Western Art, Symbolist Art, Latin American Art of the Twentieth Century, and The Thames & Hudson Dictionary of Art Terms, all published in the World of Art series. I bought this book as a short refresher course of my furniture history knowledge learned in college. It did provide that refresher but I found it lacking somewhat. Despite being initially published in 1985, the book largely stops at mid-century modern (mid-50s/60s).

Lucie-Smith addresses more than just stylistic developments in this book. Of course! This all makes perfect sense now. Lucie-Smith's book is a great primer for those interested in furniture history. He makes it easy to understand furniture history as it relates to social and political developments over time. Recently Viewed and Featured.

In this illuminating history, text and illustrations combine to offer a view of furniture not as a succession of collectors' pieces, but as a statement about the society that created it. Edward Lucie-Smith offers insights into almost every period, from the prehistoric to the postmodern-from Neolithic tables to 1960s conversation pits, and from the ceremonial chairs of Egypt in the thirteenth century BC to the designs of John Makepeace

Reviews about Furniture: A Concise History (7):
salivan
I did not receive the updated version of this book as the photograph of the book indicated. I have to have this for a class, and it is mostly complete, but there is a decade of missing info.
Cenneel
I bought this book as a short refresher course of my furniture history knowledge learned in college. It did provide that refresher but I found it lacking somewhat.

Despite being initially published in 1985, the book largely stops at mid-century modern (mid-50s/60s). Even the mid-century history is scant compared to earlier eras.
Windworker
The book would be a great an not just good book if sometimes it didn't seem as if it assumes the reader is already familiar with some of the design an d furniture jargon. Considering the lack of visuals of some of the described characteristics of the furniture pieces it made it harder to visualize some things.other than that it was definitely informative and it made me see the value in pieces I hadn't previously considered.
Samowar
Great little reference book. Needs more pictures, though. I used it to compliment my interior design history class and have not been disappointing.
uspeh
Bought this for a class and it is a good book but a little dry. I find myself reading the first sentence of a paragraph and then swimming the rest of it and getting all the information I need.
Siralune
Love the conciseness of this book. The text and photos are informative. And the size of the book is perfect.
ZloyGenii
I didn't read it, wanted it to draw furniture. I wasn't satisfied with the book but maybe it was my expectations, not the book. Since I didn't read much of it, I don't want my evaluation to count.
This is a really great book. It is very informative and is great for those who don't know where to start when learning more about the style of furniture throughout the periods. However it only covers western furniture, so those interested in any Asian or African styles of furniture and how it fit into that culture and time are out of luck.
