From the Publisher
The Victorian Society Book of the Victorian House covers every facet of building and decoration—from roofs, brickwork, and chimneys to paint effects, curtains, and floor coverings. It abounds with information on the development of Victorian domestic architecture, building methods, and materials, and offers a wealth of practical and authoritative advice on restoration, maintenance, and preservation. Throughout, the emphasis is on family houses of various sizes and styles, with particular emphasis on finding ways in which period authenticity can be combined with modern standards and convenience of lifestyle. Kit Wedd is a former deputy director of Britain’s Victorian Society. She currently works as a freelance editor and writer specializing in the conservation of historic buildings and interiors.
