About This Book

The book surveys the decorative arts and domestic furniture of the Low Countries, tracing development from medieval ecclesiastical carving and domestic chests through Burgundian opulence to Renaissance ornament and later Dutch divergence under Oriental trade influence. It examines materials, techniques, guilds and noted designers and painters, describes furniture types such as coffers, dressoirs, armoires and beds, and considers tapestries, textiles, glass and metalwork. Illustrated with period designs, master drawings and museum examples, the study draws on contemporary inventories, wills and pictorial sources to reconstruct interiors and document regional exchanges with neighboring countries.
