An introduction to Western Australian colonial furniture
Lauder, Leslie1988
Book
At a time when the major cities in Eastern Australia were building in lush Victorian styles and making similar furniture Western Australia remained resolutely old fashioned. The relative simplicity of Western Australian furniture seems to have been a function, both of conservative design and the limitations of working in an extremely hard wood such as the predominant jarrah.
