520 _a"Chats on Old Furniture: A Practical Guide for Collectors" by Arthur Hayden is a practical guide written in the early 20th century. This informative volume explores the history and appreciation of antique furniture, focusing primarily on English styles while also touching upon French, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch influences. It serves as a resource for collectors, providing insights into the evolution of domestic furniture design and the significance of various styles. The opening of the guide sets a historical context, emphasizing the importance of understanding the characteristics and heritage of old furniture, particularly as many fine pieces cross international borders into private collections. Hayden notes the changing landscape of furniture collecting and the need for a renewed appreciation of this heritage before it is diminished by time and commerce. He outlines the book's structure, which will cover various furniture styles, and introduces the Renaissance period in Europe, discussing its impact on the development of furniture design in England and how it shaped domestic tastes and aesthetics.
