Product Description

Product Description

The key to successful restoration of any period is finding the right details - whether original or reproduction. This sourcebook seeks to supply the answers. Both town and country style homes from 1600 to 1900 are covered, with greatest emphasis on the most commonly renovated period house: the 19th-century dwelling. Advice on how to date your house correctly is followed by a detailed examination of every aspect of interior fixtures and fittings - from large fixtures such as doors and windows to small details such as hinges and light switches. Exterior details are also featured. Advice on buying and restoring original items complements the gallery of reproduction products.

4.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous book for ideas., 4 April 2002
By A Customer
I haven't decided yet whether this is a delightful coffee table style book, or something that might be useful if you are looking for ideas. In any case, it's a pleasure to leaf through and it does have a useful section in the back that gives you suppliers to match the photos in the book. So I suppose if you absolutely MUST have that potbelly stove in your kitchen you can find it. Obviously the visuals are predominantly derived from large houses which can be a little frustrating if you have a shoe box, but I can't see how you can avoid that really. There's plenty of ideas to use without being completely literal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, this is the one they asked for., 20 Feb 2003
By Matthew King (Harrow, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you, like me, are a bemused partner then yes, this is that book they asked for.

From what I can gather it's required reading of whatever for many education courses and also doubles as a coffee table book.

My wife wanted it for her Interior Design evening classes and got me to order a second copy for her friend (Judith Miller - you owe me a pint). She wanted Colour by Judith Miller too (the wife that is - Judith that's another pint you owe me, well done on spelling Colour with a U).

Apparently the evening classes are the equivalent of an A level.

5 out of 5 just for being a guaranteed top present (that I'll never read even if it kills me).
