A facsimile of the 1950 edition, published in conjunction with Cadeiras Portuguesas, by Augusto Cardoso Pinto, this work is profusely illustrated with separate full-page colour and black-and-white prints. This set presents two of the most exhaustive studies of Portuguese furniture, an art form so often relegated to the background but evocative of the tastes and fashions of each period and their detailed craftsmanship. The copies reproduce photographs of the most sumptuous and elegant antique Portuguese beds, chambers, and chairs, not only those exhibited in museums and national palaces but also in private collections, generating an exclusive opportunity to view pieces only otherwise rarely on display to the general public.
