Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this new installment of the publisher's sourcebooks on period interior design, of which Victorian House Style (1992) and Edwardian House Style (1995) are previous examples, Cranfield provides a wealth of information aimed at the professional and student interior designer. Examples are given of British and American Georgian-style architects, exteriors, interiors, and gardens, with numerous illustrations of furnishings, decorative details, and color. A list of resources for both U.K. and U.S. suppliers rounds out the text. Henrietta Spencer-Churchill's Classic Georgian Style (LJ 1/98) is an attractive primer, but here is a historical reference book that will be useful in large interior design collections.

Detailed Historical Account,
By Robert L. Moore (Bloomington, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Georgian House Style: An Architectural and Interior Design Source Book (Hardcover)
This book presents a very detailed historical account regarding Georgian styled homes. It does not provide much interior design details/suggestions. It also has more of an European slant than American which makes it difficult to bring together architectural details that would look more appropriate in the US.
