French Interiors of the 18th Century
December 20, 2009 | 6 comments
If you have any Francophiles on your list and you’re stumped for a gift, I have the perfect thing.
French Interiors of the 18th Century by John Whitehead
Now this isn’t your average pretty coffee table book.
Apart from the eye candy, it looks at the eighteenth century interiors of French royalty and aristocrats and discusses how they were created using inventories, letters, and journals of the artists, designers and architects who worked for them.
It also explores etiquette and society as they relate to different styles of French interiors.
It’s the kind of thing that die hard French decorative arts and interiors buffs will find fascinating. (I know I do!) It’s a tremendous resource and a must have for any Francophile’s design library.
You can order it directly from Laurence King Publishing (which offers free shipping within the UK) or Amazon.
