Аннотация: This book represents thirty years of research into the vernacular furniture traditions of Scotland, furniture which was made over a long period of time, from the end of the 17-th century on into the 20-th century. The term "vernacular" denotes the domestic furniture of the majority of the people of Scotland, who were often poor, and initially relied on their own skills or on local wrights (as carpenters and joiners were known in Scotland) to make what they needed. As in the rest of Britain and elsewhere in Europe, such furniture formed part of the distinctive culture of a place, in a similar way to local architecture, dialects, and customs. In the second half of the 19-th century, regional pieces began to be joined by inexpensive fashionable furniture from manufacturers, who often exported their products to parts of the country at some distance from their source, and introduced mass-produced forms into the tradition. Vernacular furnituer has at its core the notion of utility - furniture that is primarily useful rather than decorative. Plain and functional as it is, it can often, particularly in the Highlands, achieve aesthetic qualities through the use of minimal materials, or a certain charming ingenuity through the use of natural shapes. Some furniture, particularly in the Lowlands, but to some extent in the Highlands too, was influenced by fashionable English 18-th century furniture-makers' publications. However, the great majority of Scottish vernacular furniture was regional and practical in character, painting or carving often being applied to provide decoration in otherwise drab domestic interiors. To appreciate some Scottish vernacular furniture we have to enter whth sympathy into the world of crofters, often in a bleak landscape, up two hundred years ago - world which has ceased to exist and which can never return. Other furniture comes from a setting of prosperous Lowland houses. Contents: "Beds and Cradles"; "Storage and Display"; "Seating Furniture"; "Clocks, Spinning Wheels, and Household Goods".
