British Tradition and Interior Design. Piras Claudia, Roetzel Bernhard

Аннотация к книге "British Tradition and Interior Design" Piras Claudia, Roetzel Bernhard:
This oversized, sumptuously illustrated book offers insights into the homes, lives, and culture of the people of the British Isles.
Armchair Anglophiles can glimpse into the rooms of city and country homes, from entrance hall to conservatory and garden, gleaning bits of information about British style and tradition along the way.
"Country Life," for example, includes sigh-inducing photos of castles and country houses, large and small, while "The Living Room" not only reveals an amazing range of drawing room dйcor, but also shows how an armchair is made, discusses the popularity of the sofa cushion, and provides a history of Wedgwood.
Such British institutions as afternoon tea and "a weekend in the country" are also illuminated amid dazzling color photographs of homes and their rooms and gardens that appear on nearly every page.
