Craftsmen, woodworkers and amateurs will be seduced by this book in which are presented thirty existing seats from the 15th to the early 20th century. Choosing for each period the most typical and the most beautiful types, the author presents, with the highest precision possible, the description, the history and the technique used. Plates drawn by the author himself analyse the construction of each piece, supposing the different items out of the joinings, and flat drawings allow, thanks to the adoption of a unique scale, to perceive with a glance, by comparaison, the transformations that happened during the centuries in the fabrication, the forms and the decors.
