[Gutenberg 51626] • Jacobean Furniture and English Styles in Oak and Walnut

Excerpt from Jacobean Furniture: And English Styles in Oak and Walnut

One might almost say that since Henry the Eighth's introduction of the styles of the Italian Renaissance into England, that country has produced no original style of furniture. But lest this state ment be resented by affronted savants and hurt senti mentalists, side by side with that fact must be placed another, that England has played upon the styles she imported with such skill and grace that she has thus produced variants of great and peculiar beauty.
