Résumé:

"This book examines the Western domestic interior from around 1800 to the mid-1890s. Rather than concentrating in a traditional way on individual types of furnishing (wallpapers or carpets, for example) or on familiar historical styles (Regency, Biedermeier, neo-Gothic, etc.), it considers the design of the interior as a whole, making use of original, long-neglected 19th-century texts and images to reveal what the designers, producers, shops and clients actually thought about the business of creating characterful interiors. Form, texture, color, light, and the establishment of national styles emerge as burning issues, widely covered in the numerous publications that catered to a newly awakened interest. Full of fresh insights and comprehensive in scope, this extraordinary work of scholarship will be essential reading for all who are interested in interior design and material culture."--Jacket.
