Description
At last, in a single volume, here is a sweeping, historical survey of interior design, decoration, and furniture. Starting around 3200 B.C., at the height of artistic development in ancient Egypt, Professor Blakemore takes us on a beautifully written and illustrated journey across five millennia of stylistic periods. Unique in its comprehensive approach, this book is a much needed addition to the existing literature on the history of interior design. 100 color illus., plus line drawings and halftones.
