“The period Mr Percival covers in this work is from the restoration of the monarchy to the regency. This period he has divided into four sections: The restoration; The end of the 17th century and the early 18th; Early Georgian; Late Georgian. To each section he has given five chapters: Fittings and ornament decorations; Furniture; Upholstery, wall and floor coverings; Table appointments; Decorative adjuncts.”—Springf’d Republican

“Mr Percival writes with unusual good sense. Moreover, he is firmly though not pedantically for unmixed style and speaks with authority. For the trained decorator, however, the book contains little that is actually new or in any way suggestive.”

“If one can judge at all from some of the imposing Fifth avenue shops, people do enjoy living in period-houses, fitting up rooms in period-furniture, buying all manner of things antique. For these impassioned collectors, at least, Mr Percival’s book is unequivocally useful, being clearly written and having much practical information.”
