Great English interiors

Mlinaric, David, author, Moore, Derry, photographer

Overview

\"Photographer Derry Moore and interior designer David Mlinaric takes readers on a panoramic tour inside some of Britain's finest buildings, guiding them through five centuries of English interior design. Mlinaric's informed text and Moore's perceptive photographs present the best examples of both public and private buildings--from sixteenth-century Haddon Hall, Chastleton and Knole to seventeenth-century Hatfield and Wilton; Houghton Hall and Syon House from the eighteenth century; Apsley House, the Palace of Westminster and Waddesdon Manor from the nineteenth; and twentieth-century examples including Charleston and the Apollo Victoria Theatre. The work of British masters including Inigo Jones, William Kent and Robert Adam, as well as of influential twentieth-century tastemakers such as Nancy Lancaster, Pauline de Rothschild and David Hicks, is revealed in striking photographs and authoritative texts, which enlighten readers to the events and personalities that lend each site its particular cultural significance. Anglophiles, armchair tourists and lovers of grand interiors will relish the photographs of these wonderful buildings, while discovering more about the designers and architects who built them, charting the evolution that has made British style so alluring, enduring and widely imitated over the centuries'\"--Jacket.
