Items with a superb and indisputable provenance. The result of three years of exhaustive work. Divided into volumes by type of furniture - beds, seats, tables etc. etc. All pieces illustrated in full and many also with illustration of close-up detail that allows true appreciation of the superb carving to many of the items.
