At the height of the Georgian period, a fresh, Neo-Classical style for architecture and interior design came to epitomize the age. From the mid-1750s until the mid-1780s a style developed that came to be associated for ever afterwards with the name of the leading architect, Robert Adam, whose career was then at its peak. But Adam was not alone in developing the style that now bears his name: this is also the age of Chippendale and Wedgwood, of John Linnell and Matthew Boulton.

Best known from the great houses of the day, the style also permeated the dwellings of the middle classes in the cities and towns of England and America. This beautifully illustrated book examines the typical Adam style house from its outer shell through to the plasterwork and fittings, the colours, the furnishings, the textiles and carpets, giving details of the workings of the average home during the period.

For all those who love the style for its own sake, as well as for the many who wish to understand how to restore or decorate an interior appropriately, this book will give clear and enjoyable guidance. Whether you own a period house, or your interest in period interiors is professional, this book will be a constant source of information as well as a beautiful possession.
