Description
Drawing upon an impressive array of original sources, this profusely illustrated book offers a panoply of sketches, engravings and printed patterns, representing French interior design and decoration from the Baroque, Rococo, Louis Seize and Empire periods through the 19th century to Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Modernism. Many of the designs have never been seen in published form before, making this sumptuous volume an invaluable treasury of new ideas and inspiration for the designers, decorators, restorers and craftsmen of today.
