Publisher's Synopsis
"This book presents sixty classic interior designs, ranging from hotels to renowned restaurants, that date back to the 18th century. Whether private or public buildings, these places attract the eye to every detail, every material, proving how great classicism can be the source of joyous admiration and refined pleasure. These prestigious addresses that once hosted kings and queens, these timeless spaces that extend their welcome, show how well thought out decoration and fabrics chosen with taste can cross the centuries, and therefore offer a beautiful future to new versions of the classic style. Each case study is presented with text that explores the history and design of the building, and this is accompanied by magnificent images, rich in colour and elegant patterns and forms, that will captivate the reader time after time.".
