Reseña del editor:

"Old chairs deserve to be taken care of. Straight-backed and with dignity and unfailing loyalty, they support us throughout our lives, keep all our secrets, share all our joys and sustain us in our sorrows." This elegant book explores seventeen chairs from seven different countries from the 1600s to the present day. Written with knowledge, wit and great affection by Art Historian and Curator Gun Bjerkander Handberg, Please Be Seated has been translated into English after much success in the author's native home of Sweden. The author shares the chairs' memories of the often fascinating lives they have led and of the people who have lived with them. From doll's house miniatures to the majestic silver throne, this book gives chairs their well-deserved place in the limelight. The chapters are intertwined with beautiful photographs and original historically sourced images printed on fine 150 gsm matt paper. This is certainly a book to enjoy whilst seated in your favourite chair!
