Product Description
Ever on the lookout for new and exciting sources of design inspiration to satisfy their wealthy patrons - many architects and decorative artists in the 18th and 19th centuries turned to the East and the 'Oriental' became a byword for spectacle and sensuality. The result was a wave of creative expression that encompassed everything from the smallest objects dart to entire buildings. This richly produced book explores the enduring allure of Orientalist decor and introduces the princes and aristocrats, artists and poets who commissioned these opulent interiors. Packed with images of beautiful decorative objects, extravagant interiors, sumptuous fabrics and ornate furniture, this book will transport the reader to another time and place.
