The Secular Furniture of E.W. Godwin (Book)

About the Item

This book is the first comprehensive study of Godwin's furniture designs. Taking the form of a catalogue raisonne, the book documents and reproduces all known examples of his secular furniture and related furniture designs. Seeking to design furniture appropriate to the needs of living in the early Victorian years he grappled with the problems of affordability, utility and function and experimented with modular and fitted furniture decades before it became popular. 299 pages with over 500 images, many of them in colour.
