Publisher's Synopsis: "The appeal of Cape country furniture lies In the combination of design that is intuitively good with decoration that is unsophisticated. From the beginning of the 19C Cape Town and the Boland were swamped with imported furniture. For physical and financial reasons the Cape country districts escaped this fate for almost three generations: and during the this period developed the wealth of style and variety of design described in this absorbing book."
