Thanks so much for the help, team!!
You are right about Eugene knowing a lot about regional variations in Chinese Antique County Furniture. Eugene is returning to the SF bay area later in the month, and I will see if he has time to do another video. Also appreciate the suggestion on the ethnic variations. I will check out that web site.
BTW, it is obvious to all that the literature in English on Chinese classical and country (vernacular) furniture is smaller in total than that available on American furniture. You may find the "Book Reviews" section on the
www.ChineseAntiqueF urnitureShop.com web site helpful in identifying some books that I have found useful. I just invested a lot of time checking out additional books, and plan to release a review or two on a monthly basis.
In many ways, these reviews are no as much content specific as they are descriptions of the "user friendliness" of the book. Many books with highly informed content are laid out in such a way that it is more difficult for the reader to access its valuable information.
Oh how I wish I could speak Mandarin and read Chinese!!! As one of my friends said to me with a big smile on his face, "John, you are too old and too dumb." Half jest, whole earnest. He's probably right.
