Q13: Are you writing more on this period?

A: Yes, as time permits! My 1981 work Nineteenth Century European Furniture is to be updated for a long awaited second edition. I hope that this will be published in 2005. I have already started compiling notes for a book on the other major makers, contemporaries of Linke's in his early years in Paris, such as Beurdeley and Dasson but this will take some time to complete.
