It's reputation among collectors and interior decorators, particularly during the recent upsurge of interest in Chinese furniture, has risen to new heights. This rare book is once again available in a complete and unabridged photographic reprint of the original edition, including all of its 161 plates, in which 122 masterpieces of Chinese furniture are illustrated, 21 of them in measured drawings.
