SUMMARY: This article explores the development of coffin furniture in 18th- and early 19th-century London through analysis of the styles and motifs of items in contemporary trade catalogues and excavated assemblages. Developments in coffin furniture were compared with styles of headstones and monuments of the same period. This study confirmed and added detail to the disjunction between below- and above-ground funerary material culture, showing that coffin furniture was stylistically distinct from contemporary funerary monuments and developed at a slower rate. It is suggested that this was influenced by the development of undertaking and the mediated relationship between producers and consumers.

伦敦的棺材家具c。1700–1850年：在坟墓的物质文化中建立传统

摘要：本文通过分析当代贸易目录和出土组合中物品的样式和图案，探讨了18世纪和19世纪初伦敦棺材家具的发展。将棺材家具的发展与同期的墓石和纪念碑风格进行了比较。这项研究证实并增加了地下和地上丧葬材料文化之间的区别，表明棺材家具在造型上与当代丧葬纪念碑不同，并且发展速度较慢。建议这受制于事业的发展以及生产者与消费者之间的中介关系。
