Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the evolution of interior decoration, the book contrasts superficial ornamentation with architectural features integral to a home's structure. It delves into the medieval period, highlighting how the conditions of warfare influenced decor, leading to the use of portable decorations like arras in castles. This detailed examination appeals to enthusiasts of early house decor, and it is part of a series republishing classic works from the early 1900s, making them accessible in high-quality modern editions.
