Leading novelist of her day, Edith Wharton collaborated with the renowned architect Ogden Codman, Jr., to create this remarkable book, now a classic in the decorative arts. First published in 1897, The Decoration of Houses was a complete manifesto for the architectural decoration of a "proper" residence in the classical tradition. It remains a timeless handbook today, addressing such issues as proportion, scale, harmony, symmetry, and such details as ornament, paneling, moldings, and fixtures. With over 100 photographs to illustrate the elegance and beauty of classical decor, this edition contains many new color photographs. The Decoration of Houses is both a historical treasure and a valuable practical guide. This edition has been completely redesigned with additional photographs and a handsome new jacket.
