"A welcome addition to the literature on what is perhaps the most marvellous of all British buildings."--John Goodall, Country Life "Reveals the glittering splendour of Brighton's Royal Pavilion."--Phil Hewitt, Hastings & St Leonards Observer "Alexandra Loske's beautifully written, magisterial work on the Royal Pavilion at Brighton is itself a pleasure palace: deeply learned but also enchanting to read; not just on the flights of dragons, the eye-popping colour and the mutations of design, but more illuminatingly on contemporary taste in the Regency; how the fantasy by the sea was received and how this most delirious of projects was the creation of a British culture, far from insular but drunk on what is imagined to be oriental passions."--Sir Simon Schama, "A welcome addition to the literature on what is perhaps the most marvellous of all British buildings."--John Goodall, Country Life "Alexandra Loske's beautifully written, magisterial work on the Royal Pavilion at Brighton is itself a pleasure palace: deeply learned but also enchanting to read; not just on the flights of dragons, the eye-popping colour and the mutations of design, but more illuminatingly on contemporary taste in the Regency; how the fantasy by the sea was received and how this most delirious of projects was the creation of a British culture, far from insular but drunk on what is imagined to be oriental passions."--Sir Simon Schama

Synopsis
The first in-depth study since the 1980s of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, a building that is often considered the most impressive architectural expression of the Romantic imagination and that has become a hallmark of Regency style Created between 1787 and 1823 by George IV, the Royal Pavilion in Brighton is perhaps the most daring and enchanting example of a building that expresses the European fascination with what in the early nineteenth century was considered the "Orient," in particular China and India. The building, with its Indian-inspired exterior, was the work of the renowned architect John Nash, who with the contributions of several other gifted and inventive architects, artists, and designers, created a building that draws you in, takes you on a journey, and plays with your senses. Featuring new photography, this lavishly illustrated book will provide a fresh look at the sumptuous Chinoiserie interiors of the Royal Pavilion and their enduring appeal. Drawing on recent research, conservation projects, and the unprecedented loan exhibition A Prince's Treasure: From Buckingham Palace to the Royal Pavilion (2019-22), this book celebrates the colours and sensual beauty of these interiors while situating the Royal Pavilion in the context of the time of its creation and development under royal ownership, from its beginning in the wake of the French Revolution, through its transformation and extension during and just after the Napoleonic Wars, to its fate and legacy in the early Victorian era.

- e***u (282)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
