Written for decorators, craftsmen and householders, this study argues against the long prejudice that keeps British buildings grey and colourless. It explains how colour works on walls, ceilings and façades, then tours the painted rooms of Italian palaces, coloured churches in France, German decorative schemes and English work, describing intarsia, heraldic ceilings and frescoed friezes.
A useful companion for anyone restoring an old interior or curious how historic buildings were meant to look. Download the free EPUB.
