Synopsis
The appeal of the English country house is immeasurable, yet the interior decoration the drawing room--the most important room of a house, where English tradition is experienced at its finest--has rarely been the subject of a book. People world-wide are drawn to traditional English culture, as evidenced by the mega-hit Downton Abbey, and the drawing room demonstrates the epitome of English culture and decoration. This book will be an essential reference and a source of inspiration for interior designers, traditional architects, homeowners, and Anglophiles. This book examines the great drawing rooms from the sixteenth century to the present day, offering unprecedented access to England's finest houses. Through these exquisitely decorated rooms--many still in private hands--readers experience the best of English decoration and the work of such legends as David Hicks, Nancy Lancaster, John Fowler, and David Mlinaric., A highly detailed look at the most accomplished English country house interiors, exemplifying English decorating at its best. The English drawing room, a formal place within a house of status where family and honored guests could retire from the more public arena, is one of the most important rooms in an English country house, and thus great attention has been paid to preserving the decoration of this most elegant of spaces: the center of life in the English countryside and the epitome of English country house decoration. This book offers privileged access to fifty of the finest drawing rooms of country houses and historic townhouses--many still in private hands--including Althorp, Attingham, and Knepp Castle. Through these sumptuous rooms, readers experience a history of English decorating from the sixteenth century to the present day, including the work of design legends such as David Hicks, Nancy Lancaster, John Fowler, and David Mlinaric. Specially commissioned photographs capture the entirety of each room, as well as details of furniture, architectural elements, artwork, collections, and textiles, creating a visually seductive book that will inspire interior designers and homeowners interested in the widely popular classic English look.

Like my artwork, what I sell on eBay is not from a single category. Instead, I enjoy searching garage sales, estate auctions, and book sales looking for hidden treasure. Look for me to sell anything ...

    This book was without a doubt the best packaged book I have ever bought on-line and I buy a lot of books. The description was spot on, condition is near new and the book was shipped I believe on the same day ordered. It might not have been the cheapest avaiable but was certainly the best value. I'll buy more from this seller every chance I get. Thank you for your great service and care!
