SynopsisThis study focuses on the various customs and behaviour surrounding the objects which belonged to the majority of the Irish population. Where some were too impoverished to own furniture, it looks at how they managed without it, as well as the interaction of means of survival. The emphasis is placed upon materials, techniques, and makers; within this framework there emerges a functionalism and purity which has no heroes., In this book, Kinmonth explains the origins, distribution and survival of many ancient furniture designs, and also provides a broader picture of cultural links through their transmissions abroad. The result is a cultural history of Ireland.
