This comprehensive overview of Victorian design focuses both on major architectural features and on the smaller details of interior decoration largely neglected in less exhaustive works. It is a detailed pictorial source book of the period, indispensable to anyone restoring and enjoying a Victorian home, and reconciling what is valuable in Victorian style and design with the requirements of late twentieth century life. “Victorian House Style” is both a beautifully illustrated reference work and a practical handbook for house owners. Above all, it is a celebration of Victoriana, the eclectic styles of the era, and the elegance and character of nineteenth century homes.
