DESCRIPTION

AuthorHarris, Timothy E.; Wordsworth, Marie Louise, writer of forewordEditionLimited EditionDescription"The Swan River colony was settled in 1829 and was the most isolated of all the colonies under British rule. As a; result of this isolation an insular conservative society developed adapting itself to the local conditions and a landscape dominated by eucalypts and acacias. As a distinct regional type the furniture makers in Western Australia produced functional pieces from native timbers harder than the typical ideal woods found in Britain or on; the east coast of Australia. All types of furniture used in a colonial home or farmhouse as well as the rare finely; made pieces were searched for over a wide geographical area and documented for this study."--Publisher's website.ImprintPalmyra, Western Australia : Colonial Jarrah Enterprises,, [2018]Collationxiii, 537 p. : illustrations (chiefly colour), ; 34 cm.LanguageEnglishNotesLimited edition of 950 copies, this copy is no. 91.; Bibliography includes index.ISBN9.78065E+12Dewey Class749.0934 HARPublication FormatBook
