The age of Elegance - Baroque - Rococo - Georgian - Victorian An effect of luxury is importatnt to these styles and can be created with the use of pattern and color rather than just expensive materials.

Rich fabrics such as velvets, heavy silks, damasks. Woven designs of flowers, pastoral subjects and animals will blend well. Also embroideries and tapestries. Gilded and painted furniture. Window treatments should be elaborate with swags, drapes and valances. Ornate mirrors, hang portraits in elaborate gilt frames. Accents with roses in formal arrangements. Music choices for these romantic styles .... Faure's Pavanne for Orchestra, Debussy's Clair de Lune, Chopin's Ballades, Preludes and Nocturnes and Johann Strauss II's Viennese Waltzes |

Judith Miller Guide to Period Style Curtains and Soft Furnishings There is no style so coveted in interior decoration as authentic period style, and there is no name so identified with period style decorating as Judith Miller. This beautifully illustrated book provides detailed instructions on how to create authentic period looks using curtains, draperies, and soft furnishings. Included are photographs of a wide range of period rooms with step-by-step sewing instructions for 14 projects and inspiration for hundreds more. From tapestry cushions to four-poster bed hangings, from swagged and tailed window coverings to wing chair covers--every aspect of period draperies and soft furnishing is covered, including photographs of swatches of classic fabrics still available today and backed up by a directory of international suppliers of these period-style fabrics. With hundreds of period ideas shown in more than 450 full-color photographs and step-by-step diagrams, Judith Miller's Guide to Period-Style Curtains and Soft Furnishings is the essential guide for home and professional decorators alike. Period Finishes and Effects: A Step-By-Step Guide to Decorating Techniques authors of Period Design & Furnishing (Crown, 1988) have created a companion book that will educate and inspire amateur and professional decorators to enhance period interiors through the use of wall treatments and paint techniques. Instructions for traditional wall treatments are included, as are ways of making new surfaces look antique, such as aging metal or wood. The appendix provides a glossary on equipment, materials, and techniques, and the directory lists supply companies in both Great Britain and the United States. By focusing on authentic-looking period finishes, this book answers a need that is not fulfilled by any other paint-finish or do-it-yourself manual. Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the Eighteenth Century During the reigns of Louis XV (1723-74) and Louis XVI (1774-92), fashion and furniture were not simply meant to be beautiful but were also intended to arouse, attract, and seduce. Published in response to the critically acclaimed and hugely popular exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum in the fall of 2004, Dangerous Liaisons focuses on fashion and its interplay with the paintings, furniture, and decorative arts of eighteenth-century France. Featuring beautiful color photographs of the exhibition’s installation, details of the garments, and supplementary historical material, the book demonstrates how the extravagant clothing of the period reiterated the splendor of Rococo and Neoclassical interiors. The Private Realm of Marie Antoinette Royal's furniture and accessories. A lovely look into the private world of the French queen Marie Antoinette, whose marriage at fifteen made her queen of France before she was twenty, died under the blade of the guillotine in 1793. She has been romanticized as the martyred queen, admired as the personification of eighteenth-century French royal style, and vilified as the Austrian whose frivolous extravagance and foreign sympathies fired the French Revolution. French Furniture : From Louis XIII to Art Deco For those who simply want a better understanding of French furniture. French Furniture is a compact and informative guide to French furniture and decoration from the 16th to the 20thcentury. Numerous illustrations and concise definitions make this book indispensable for designers and collectors. French Provincial Furniture Guide to French provincial furniture that no serious buyer or enthusiast can afford to be without. It presents the key types of country antique furniture in fourteen separate regions of France, explains the differences in their construction and decoration which will enable you to identify them, and describes the twenty-one different woods used to make these provincial pieces. Separate chapters convey the techniques used by the traditional cabinetmakers who created these sought-after antiques and portray the delightful country interiors for which they were originally made. A helpful glossary of relevant French words and phrases is also included, and the book is illustrated with over 200 color and black and white photographs of representative pieces including value ranges. This is a new and welcome guide to the charming and distinctive provincial furniture of France. Marie-Antoinette and the Last Garden at Versailles Marie-Antoinette has been idolized as the height of eighteenth-century French style and vilified as the spark that ignited the French Revolution. This book departs from such traditional interpretations of the infamous queen’s reign and chooses to reflect on the humanistic aspects of her private realm. To escape the formalities and royal obligations of Louis XVI’s court, Marie-Antoinette created a private realm of pleasure for herself at the Petit Trianon and Hameau, where she planted the first Anglo-Chinese garden; created a trysting grotto; a working farm; and revolutionized architecture and gardening trends for the century to come. Marie-Antoinette’s entire private domain and its story are told in beautiful photographic detail by François Halard for the first time since its recent restoration and accompanied by well-researched texts by garden expert Christian Duvernois. The Private Realm of Marie Antoinette Marie Antoinette, whose marriage at fifteen made her queen of France before she was twenty, died under the blade of the guillotine in 1793. She has been romanticized as the martyred queen, admired as the personification of eighteenth-century French royal style, and vilified as the Austrian whose frivolous extravagance and foreign sympathies fired the French Revolution. Represented in this book are her private apartments at Versailles, the Petit Trianon her little stone treasure, the Hamlet she created so that she could pretend to be a simple county girl, the opulent boudoir at the chateau de Fontainbleau, and the simple yet elegant laiterie at Rambouillet. Versailles .Tracing the transformation of Louis XIII's modest hunting lodge into the spectacular showplace of the French monarchy, photographs of the architecture, interiors, and gardens include the most recent research on the architecturally innovative and influential palace. Empire Splendor: French Taste in the Age of Napoleon While the 'Age of Napoleon' is best known as a period of French expansion and ultimate defeat, it was also an era of elegance and the flourishing of the decorative arts. The visuals in this book are generally quite good and focus on the various interior rooms (there are precious few exterior views), furniture, decoration, textiles, tableware, lighting, and gardens of Malmaison, St. Cloud, Tuileries, Fontainebleau, and Compiegne. There are plenty of full-page room photos and close-up shots. . |
