Industry Reviews
"[This] comprehensive reference work....describes and pictures 300 individual pieces. The emphasis is on furniture and decorative items that were mass manufactured rather than on one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces; information on foundries' dates of operation and the designs they produced can prove helpful to the novice collector and the seasoned connoisseur."
