520 _a"Little Books About Old Furniture. Volume II. The Period of Queen Anne" by J. P. Blake and A. E. Reveirs-Hopkins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the style and characteristics of furniture from the Queen Anne period, specifically addressing the evolution of design and materials from the reigns of William and Mary to George I. The text serves as both an introduction to the study of old English furniture and a practical guide for collectors of various means. The opening of the book provides an overview of the Queen Anne period, discussing its significance in the broader context of English furniture history. It highlights the transition from Jacobean designs to those influenced by Dutch styles, emphasizing the prevalent use of walnut wood during this era. Notable figures such as architects Sir Christopher Wren and sculptor Grinling Gibbons are introduced, underscoring their impact on the aesthetics of the time. The authors also note the growing interest in ornamental pieces, particularly in light of the introduction of new materials and craftsmanship, setting the stage for further exploration of specific furniture styles and examples featured throughout the volume.
