The apartments of the house : their arrangement, furnishing and decoration

Crouch, Joseph, Butler, Edmund · 1900 · London : At the sign of the Unicorn · 26 pictures

A 1900 London book on domestic architecture and interior decoration by Joseph Crouch and Edmund Butler, aimed at householders and craftsmen wanting guidance on arranging, furnishing and decorating the rooms of a house. Its plates are black-and-white views of interiors: a carved wooden chair and cabinet with pierced tracery, a staircase hall with a gallery, and a fireplace with a carved balcony and high-backed chair. A designer could draw on their detailed woodwork, panelling and furniture for period-style interior references.
