About the Book

This classic work on The Decoration of Houses was originally published in 1897, with chapters including; The Historical Tradition - Rooms in general - Entrance and Vestibule and The school room & nurseries. Much of the information is still useful and practical today.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
