This stunning volume focuses on the qualities of the old things in
our homes (the patina of an old table, pewter dulled by age, old
floorboards that creak) and how to live with and incorporate them
into our personal aesthetic. Divided into chapters by the qualities
of old-peeling, dried, tarnished, faded, chipped, frayed, rusty,
and mossy-this unique book not only pays tribute to furniture,
textiles, china, silver, and other accessories with these
qualities, but also shows us how best to preserve, adapt, and
arrange them. Lavishly illustrated with beautiful photographs that
highlight the warm colors and rich textures of wood and paint,
cloth and leather, For the Love of Old also includes ideas and
recipes for saving old items from the junk pile, preserving and
caring for the old things you have, giving newer things a lived-in
feel, and bringing an enduring personality to every home.
