Product Description

Review

`One of the most important books on interior design to be published in recent decades'
--World of Interiors

'A work of great scholarship ... will become a classic work on the subject ... What really marks this book out, however, is its many hundreds of wonderful illustrations' --The Tablet

'Profound, well-informed and factually rich ... an astounding source of textual and pictorial material, which will be a lasting enrichment' --The Victorian

'The multiplicity of sources ensures that the book will be required reading way outside the narrow definition implied by the title' --The Art Newspaper

'For anyone interested in this important part of 19th-century social history this book should become required reading'
--Contemporary Review

'Beautifully illustrated' --Apollo

'... the major achievement of the book is in satisfying the needs and pleasures of a wide spectrum of people interested in interior design' --The Art Book

'Big, scholarly and handsome... an extremely valuable examination'
--Decorative Arts Society

'Dense but scholarly ... not only an important new contribution to scholarship on 19th-century interior design, but also thought-provoking and challenging in its methodology' --The Journal of William Morris Studies

'Carefully conceived and deeply evocative ... one of the most important publications in the field for years'
--Home Cultures

Review

`A long, dense, scholarly work with an amazing breadth of international references'
