"Wainwright provides fascinating details about the beginnings of the modern antique trade in Britain...He examines the collecting of stained glass, metalwork, ceramics, armour, furniture and the carved wood and stone needed by collectors to decorate and furnish their homes." Wainwright focuses on 5 stately homes: Charlecote Park, Goodrich Court, Strawberry Hill, Abbotsford, and Fonthill Abbey, all of which represent important aspects of the Romantic movement from the mid 1700s to mid 1800s.
