From the publisher
Interiors tell us a lot about art and taste as well as everyday life and the extravagances of London’s high society. London Lost Interiors features more than 500 stunning photographs from the archives of Historic England, which were commissioned by the proud creators of the lavish Victorian drawing rooms and libraries, as well as the fashionable Arts & Crafts and Art Deco apartments – and even Oriental-style interiors meticulously created by those recently returned from the Raj.
- Featuring 170 of the most beautiful and extraordinary interiors created in an exceptional period in British history.
- Over 650 pin-sharp and unseen photographs taken 1880-1950 and held in the archives of English Heritage.
- A window into our past that is both a social history and art history and features the lost beauty of homes that have since been demolished, stripped out or refurbished.
- A variety of styles, including lavish Victorian drawing rooms, many influenced by Colonial Britain; fashionable Arts & Crafts, Art Deco and Modernism.
- Written following 10 years of research by leading historian and conservationist Steven Brindle, who has worked for English Heritage for 35 years.
