A glorious celebration of the singular sophistication of
English furniture, this lavishly illustrated volume features
more than 150 objects from the world-class collection of
Hyde Park Antiques—one of the most prestigious purveyors of
objects from England's history—showcased among charming
illustrations of period interiors, exquisite drawings from
cabinet-makers' albums, and contemporary interiors from the
world's luminary decorators, including Mario Buatta, Albert
Hadley, Bunny Williams, Charlotte Moss, and Cullman &
Kravis, among many others. Five major styles from the
periods between 1700 and 1830 are showcased in depth—from
Queen Anne to Georgian, spanning Paladianism, English
Rococo, Neoclassicsim, and Regency—along with the important
designers of the age such as Thomas Chippenddale, Robert
Adam, and George Hepplewhite. Recommended for both the
serious collector and more casual admirer of traditional
English style and design, this volume is destined to be a
classic and is a must-have addition for every antiques
aficionado's library.
