Scottish Vernacular Furniture

Heavily illustrated with 450 color photos and 100 additional black and white figures, this catalog offers a complete and authoritative study of regional furniture design and use in Scotland. It looks closely at a social history and at lifestyles that are at some levels primitive and at others surprisingly sophisticated. If not always high art, vernacular furniture proves that limited resources need not exclude aesthetic quality, nor must the functional imperative exclude beauty and charm. In writing this book, Bernard Cotton and his wife Gerry made it a priority to see pieces in their contexts, to meet the people who used them, and to understand how they were made. The story of their quest is itself an adventure, and the objects he photographed often represent the life and death of a community, the vital relics of a vanished culture. ‘’İskoç Yerel Mobilyaları’’550’den fazla görselin bir arada bulunduğu İskoç tarzı özel tasarım mobilyaları inceleyebileceğiniz benzersiz bir katalog.
