Product Description
From Booklist
The style associated with the British king Edward VII appears very spare when compared with the Victorian style, which preceded it. Hockman provides a synopsis of the historical conditions existing shortly before 1900, setting the scene for design trends that ensued once Edward became king. Hockman's well-illustrated book offers a serviceable, informative resource for anyone wishing to restore an Edwardian ambience to interiors or hoping to find ideas and motifs for exterior renovations. Hundreds of decorative elements are reproduced, showing details of fac{‡}ades, furnishings, and fittings. Hockman also recounts the architectural themes that dominated building styles at the time, but perhaps most useful are photographs of contemporary rooms decorated with an eye toward capturing the essence of Edwardian design. Alice Joyce

Useful book with good illustrations,
This review is from: Edwardian House Style: An Architectural and Interior Design Source Book (Paperback)
This useful book clarifies Edwardian design as a bridging style between Victorian and Art Deco. Some elements of both are well illustrated.Those familiar with the excellent book "Homes & Interiors of the 1920's" will recognize this style as Edwardian in fact if not in name. In North America, Edwardian style persisted until 1930. This book helped me to distinguish the ornate and heavily wallpapered style of the Aesthetic Movement from the much plainer Edwardian style that followed it.

Excellent source for our remodel,

This review is from: Edwardian House Style: An Architectural and Interior Design Source Book (Paperback)
I used this book for restoring an Edwardian home that had been stripped of its details in the late 1950s. An invaluable resource for designing stairwell banisters, interior columns, and crown moldings, as well as a guide for antique shopping to find appropriate period light fixtures and stained glass windows. Couldn't have gotten by without this book!
