Summary:

"Records the discovery and contemporary re-creation of Greek furniture designs virtually ignored for more than two thousand years. T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, internationally known as a furniture designer, spent more than two decades studying and collecting from the museums of the world the design motifs found in the sculptured reliefs, vase paintings, terracottas, and bronze statuettes of classical Greece. From his research, he has re-created twenty-two models that cover the full range of Greek furniture from the sixth to the fourth centuries B.C."--Dust jacket.
