Adam Style

From Strand Bookstore

At the height of the Georgian period, this fresh Neo-Classical style for architecture and interior design came to epitomize the age. From the mid-1750s until the mid-1780s, it came to be associated with the name of the leading architect, Robert Adam, but was also associated with the age of Chippendale and Wedgwood, of John Linnell and Matthew Boulton. The illustrated monograph examines the typical Adam Style house from its outer shell to the plasterwork and fitting, the colors, the furnishings, the textiles & carpets. Addenda. Color/b&w illus. 240p.
