Book Description
Excerpt from Old English Interiors The true artistic value of English design in furniture and interior decoration is freely acknowledged, and any work dealing with the subject has been widely welcomed. Catholicity is characteristic of every lover of art, and so far as any effort of mine and the publication of this work may assist in an even keener appreciation of English design, one may rest assured that the question of nationality will not lessen the welcome extended to such efforts by every art-lover all the world over. The history of the interior decoration may be said to be that of domestic architecture. In a large measure it reflects the manners and dress of the people. Its development is continuous from the time when, in the lonely Keep and the desolate Castle, a few trophies of the chase and the men's weapons, or the women's needlework, hung on the rough walls, to the time when, with the aid of carved oak, stained glass, panelled walls, beautiful tapestries and splendid pictures the lordly manor houses and princely" mansions reached the height of magnificence and comfort of which the many remaining examples in all parts of the country serve to remind us, and of which we have cause to feel justly proud.
