Engravings Of Interior: Period draperies. As original draperies of 17th and 18th century rooms are almost nonexistent, it is necessary to search documents for information. Contemporary descriptions are vague on matters concerning designs, but often give full details as to materials. In the accurate restoration of period rooms required by museums and owners of old houses, it is always interesting to use the original designs for window draping. The most authentic documents for research are the paintings and engravings of interiors by Vermeer, Hogarth, Boucher, and others, and the books on Interior Design that were published between 1750 and 1850.

On The Other Hand See Mother Of Interior Decoration:Considered the mother of interior decoration, Elsie de Wolfe introduced light and air into previously dark and cluttered Victorian interiors, and insisted on comfort, livability, and beauty. While all her clients were wealthy, her influence extended to a wide audience of women through books, magazine articles, and radio broadcasts. This oversize (10.25x12.25") volume showcases 29 of her important projects, from the Conde Nast apartment in New York, to several residences of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Newly restored archival photographs accompany text by decorative art scholar Sparke. Includes a catalog of known projects and an extensive bibliography.
Mural Decoration is not necessarily limited to formal interiors. In early Colonial farmhouses, many murals were used; in these the painting was crude, but it was in harmony with the architecture and decoration. The interior walls and woodwork were often lavishly treated with landscapes, farm scenes, and flowers. The journeyman painters who were called upon to paint both houses and fences, portraits and murals, could hardly be expected to exhibit excellence of technique. Many of these compositions, however, had a naive appeal and great decorative charm.
