The best craftsmanship in home furnishings of the late 19th century
is documented in this beautiful study by a dedicated connoisseur.
At a time when American and European economies were expanding
quickly, consumers' tastes were increasingly elaborate and refined.
Demand for exquisite design, fine materials, and masterful
workmanship resulted in interiors of a calibre never equalled or
surpassed since. This book presents an overview of those Victorian
architectural antiques, stained glass windows, furniture, art
glass, lighting devices, match holders, and poster art in chapters
that explain the development of the forms and show examples in over
400 color photographs. Period room settings as well as single items
are featured. Especially strong here are the pieces that
demonstrate originality in Tiffany windows and art glass, Mitchell
and Rammelsburg furniture, Globe-Wernicke bookcases, French Burgun
Schverer and English cameo glass, and Duffner and Kimberly lamps.
More and more people today recognize and seek out the superior
quality of Victorian antiques. With this new book as a guide, they
will learn important details to help identify originals and marvel
at the beauty they can hope to find. Current price ranges are
included with the captions.
