DESCRIPTION:
Book by Clarke, Rosy
"Three Stars" according to Amazon Customer. Disappointed by the photographs in black and white, expected more colour. This one leaves to be desired.. Good descriptions, questionable repairs welder This book contains very good detailed descriptions of pieces, plus place and time of manufacture. It includes a number of small pieces, as well as the more common tansu.Restoration of antiques is currently questioned, but methods shown here are not appropriate. Sanding, especially with a belt or other powered sander, destroys original hand-planed surfaces. Sandpaper also adds . I learned a lot from this book. A Customer I learned a lot about Japanese furniture from this book - different styles, history and how to tell a quality piece. I am going to try to restore a small piece I have using the instructions in this book. For all of the expensive books available, I learned the most from this book!
