Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from French and English Furniture: Distinctive Styles and Periods Described and Illustrated
The purpose of this book is to give specimens of good workmanship in Modern Domestic Architecture and the Applied Arts. It is meant to be at once useful to the general householder and attractive to the professional student. It cannot claim to represent examples of all the notable work which has been done in recent years by British architects and by British crafts men. A thorough treatment oi the present subject would require several volumes, and a. Very singular display of mixed traditions and opposed convictions. A book, like an essay, should have a limited design of its own, a unity of intention and impression; and this being essential, many points of View have to be passed by in silence. But The British Home of To-day, though necessarily limited in scope, contains a very rich selection from the best contemporary work.
