Little Buildings: A Study of Aedicular Furniture from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (1500 - 1900)

This thesis will present close examination of the development of aedicular design through the ages with a chronological study of exemplary case pieces in the permanent collection at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
