"Examines the Western domestic interior from around 1800 to the mid-1890s. Rather than concentrating in a traditional way on individual types of furnishing (wallpapers or carpets, for example) or on familiar historical styles (Regency, Biedermeier, neo-Gothic, etc.), it considers the design of the interior as a whole, making use of original, long-neglected 19th-century texts and images to reveal what the designers, producers, shops and clients actually thought about the business of creating characterful interiors." (dj) Much to see and consider here.
