English furniture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

English furniture has developed largely in line with styles in the rest of northern Europe, but has been interpreted in a distinctive fashion. Regional styles are significant, for example between the North Country and the West Country.

Salisbury and Norwich were prominent early centres of furniture production.[1]
