During the field visits, we were lucky to meet members of the royal and merchant families who opened the doors of their palaces and mansions and allowed us to record the vernacular furniture items within. We were also able to visit a number of private collections and warehouses who provided us a tangential insight on the collection and trade of vernacular furniture. We were reliant on the kindness shown by numerous residents who shared their knowledge and personal stories related to the vernacular furniture. We were also fortunate to meet and learn from the craftspeople and makers of vernacular furniture. We have made the best effort to maintain a detailed record of all the people whom we approached for help whilst conducting fieldwork. The contributors have been listed below in alphabetical order in the regions where they helped us.
