Renowned designer and antiques dealer Richard Shapiro devotes his
first book to the art of creating refined, cultivated spaces that
transport their inhabitants to a heritage of distant lands and past
epochs. Designers and home owners who wish to endow homes with
authentic European charm and character will be inspired by
Shapiro's gift for creating genuine Old World savoir faire. The
book focuses on the two much-imitated homes and gardens of Richard
Shapiro, which provide a wealth of inspiration and a broad array of
examples related to living graciously with antiques, decorative
painting and other finishes, and marrying centuriesold building
materials with new construction. Shapiro shares ideas from his work
as a designer as well as lessons learned from years of collecting
and selling antiques and fine art. As a manufacturer of furnishings
with a distinctly European sensibility, he also brings to bear a
thorough knowledge of production processes and finishing techniques
that simulate authentic Old World archetypes. With exquisite new
photography, the book also functions as a master class, filled with
illustrations and takeaways for readers, offering practical ideas
and creative inspirations for imbuing a home with a romantic mood
and a timeworn sensibility.
