About This Item
London: John Murray, 1990. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good Dj has general wear. Sticker on dj spine from previosu owner. Blue boards; silver lettering. Color-illus. dj with white lettering; black lettering on spine. xiv; 202 pp. with 31 color plates and several bw illus. Catalogue from the exhibition held at The Royal Pavilion, Art Gallery and Museums, Brighton, 9th October-30th December 1990; curated by Meg Aldrich. The Crace family were the most important firm of interior decorators working in Britain in the 19th century. They earned this title by the sheer number and importance of their commissions, working for every British monarch from George III to Queen Victoria and on a range of buildings that includes royal palaces, Leeds Town Hall and the Great Exhibition building of 1862. This book examines the history of the Craces, from their humble origins as coach decorators to interior decorators of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The text also analyzes the artistic styles of the period and discusses the conservative nature of the Craces' work.
