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.
