In my opinion, this book is well worth having and a must for serious students of Interior Design and the Decorative Arts. Written in a scholarly fashion with beautiful photos, it is a marvelous resource affording the reader the opportunity to view period rooms in context. Arrived promptly in good condition, as described.

This review is from: Period Rooms in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Hardcover)

I bought this book to supplement my texts for a history of furniture course. I took the course a couple of years ago, and I just pulled the book out again this week to refer to it for some styles I needed to study for a furniture design and fabrication course. It's a great reference for many historical styles. It doesn't have every style that I would wish to see, but what it has is useful- showing several shots of the period rooms at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
