Sir Ambrose Heal and the Heal Cabinet Factory

Inspired by the likes of John Ruskin and William Morris, Ambrose Heal transformed the family furnishing business, Heal's of Tottenham Court Road, London, to provide a broad middle-class public with distinctive, well-designed, well-made furniture and furnishings. This book, which records his furniture designs and also puts them into the larger retail context, is the first comprehensive review of his career.
