Chambord occupies a special place among French Renaissance chateaux. Designed by Francis I as a hunting lodge for his friends and family and subsequently transformed into an immense residence, Chambord is an astonishingly bold architectural creation. To mark the 500th anniversary of this prestigious piece of French heritage, Jean-Michel Turpin invites us into the chateau, and especially into lesser-known and mysterious wings of Chambord, and throughout its beautiful grounds in the Loire Valley. The story spans five centuries and is illustrated by archival and contemporary photographs, many never before published.

The Crace family were the most important firm of interior decorators working in Britain in the 19th century. They earned this title by the sheer number and importance of their commissions, working for every British monarch from George III to Queen Victoria and on a range of buildings that includes royal palaces, Leeds Town Hall and the Great Exhibition building of 1862. This book examines the history of the Craces, from their humble origins as coach decorators to interior decorators of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The text also analyzes the artistic styles of the period and discusses the conservative nature of the Craces' work.
