It provides both a chronological survey of the events and personalities involved in the history of 19th-century design and the social and economic context for the different types of furnishings and decorations that emerged. Revivalist and traditional styles are examined as closely as the more innovative tendencies and, where possible, attention is focused on circumstances in which all of them were employed. Most importantly the authors examine the reasons for the popularity of these different styles, providing an insight into why some of them are still fashionable today."; 13.07 X 9.21 X 1.10 inches; 224 pages.
