Arts and Crafts

Over 200 photographs capture the Arts and Crafts look, both in Morris's own residences as well as in contemporary homes where the classic Morris aesthetic of simple beauty prevails. Organized by element, chapters on the legendary patterned fabrics and wallpapers he designed, his artisan wooden furniture, curtains and carpets, ceramics and metalwork all serve to illustrate Morris's unique vision. Informative, engaging, and delightful to peruse, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Home captures the beauty and simplicity of these influential designs.

Victorian and Edwardian Furniture

This book is a major revision and enlargement of the highly acclaimed Price Guide to Victorian, Edwardian and 1920s Furniture. In this logical and easily understandable guide to what is still the most popular (and perhaps most confusing) period in antique furniture and collecting today, John Andrews discusses all the points that constitute value, whether influenced by construction, fashion or economic trends.

Illustrated and revised

Now exclusively comprising Victorian and Edwardian Furniture, of which 1,000 items are illustrated, this book reveals the mysteries of its subject in a completely revised section on the period's myriad styles, from Rococo and Gothic to Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts.
Arranged alphabetically by furniture type, from bookcases to whatnots, each section of the book is lavishly illustrated. Many of the illustrations are new to this revision and they are among the reasons why this book will be the best general survey and the standard reference on its subject for many years to come. This new edition contains both GBP Sterling and US Dollar prices.
