Antique Furniture in Malta

This highly informative publication looks at furniture over the centuries, and was the catalogue that accompanied the major furniture exhibition held at St James Cavalier, Valletta. A team of authoritative scholars write about Maltese furniture, both domestic and ecclesiastical, while an experienced auctioneer looks at developments in the salerooms over the years. In addition, two experts from Sotheby’s in the United Kingdom write about English and European furniture.
