About the author
Alfred Edward Reveirs-Hopkins was a writer on English furniture and decorative arts. Library and catalog records identify him as A. E. (Alfred Edward) Reveirs-Hopkins, born in 1863, and his surviving books show a steady interest in explaining furniture history in a readable, practical way.
He is associated with titles such as Tudor to Stuart, The Period of Queen Anne, and English Furniture: The Sheraton Period: Post-Chippendale Designers, 1760-1820. Several of these works were written with J. P. Blake, and together they introduced readers to changing styles, craftsmanship, and domestic taste across different periods of English design.
Although detailed biographical information appears to be scarce online, his books have remained in circulation through libraries, reprints, and Project Gutenberg. That lasting presence suggests a writer whose appeal came from making a specialist subject approachable for collectors, students, and curious general readers alike.
