Аннотация:

Like English literature and English manners, the English style of decorating has been copied and admired for generations around the world. It is a style that can be found in a simple cottage with gabled roof and stucco walls, or in a grand country house filled with antique furniture and family heirlooms. It may be reflected in an elegant town house with gleaming brass Art Deco appointments, a Victorian terrace house with original William Morris wallpaper, a minimalist London flat or an attic studio furnished with graphic severity. Suzanne Slesin and Stafford Cliff have joined forces to provide a singularly beautiful and evocative look at the English ways of decorating. Presenting more than 600 never-before-published colour photographs, English Style achieves a consistent beauty while examining a myriad of styles. There are chapters on classic English homes; city houses; flats and studios; conversions; country houses; collecting and English style abroad. The result is a rich and provocative book whose every detail demonstrates the endurance of tradition and vitality of invention that are both major elements in English interior design today.
