Liberty's Furniture (1875 - 1915), The birth of Modern Interior Design, by D. Bennett, Ed. Antiques Collectors Club, 9-½ inches x 12 inches ( 24 cm x 31 cm ), hardcover book with 328 full color pages
Liberty's Furniture 1875-1915, The Birth of Modern Interior Design is a hardcover book of 328 color pages.
Throughout the history of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Liberty & Co. always enjoyed a prominent position. With imaginative design, high-quality construction, and state-of-the-art marketing, the company was responsible for some of the most beautiful and enduring pieces of furniture from that period.
Drawing on archive material and reviews in contemporary journals and magazines, this book examines the key features and different styles of Liberty's furniture design, as it evolved through a variety of genres including Oriental, Arts & Crafts, and "modern country cottage".
Illustrations from the Liberty catalogues enable readers to see how both the products and promotional styles of the company developed, whilst the many color photographs show a wide selection and Culloden sideboard to the Thebes stools and Witlaf chairs.
Giving particular attention to the work of Leonard Wyhurd, the man responsible for some of the most important elements of the Liberty style, this volume represents an invaluable evidence base for collectors and auction house alike.
