Philip Wilson Publishers Ltd Fringe, Frog and Tassel: The Art of the
Book SynopsisLavishly illustrated with new photography, Fringe, Frog and Tassel is the first survey of the history, design and use of trimmings in the historic interiors of Britain and Ireland. Trimmings are often overlooked as mere details of a furnished interior. However, in the past they were seen as vital and costly elements in the decoration of a room. They were used not only on curtains and beds but also on wall hangings, upholstered seat furniture and cushions, providing a visual feast for the eye with their colour and intricate detail. Sometimes more expensive than the rich fabrics they enhanced, trimmings are often the only surviving evidence of a lost decorative scheme, reapplied to replacement textiles or found as fragments in the attic. This book, the first of its kind, traces their history in Britain and Ireland from 1320 to 1970, examining the design and usage of tassels, fringe, braid (woven lace), gimp and cord and their dependence on French fashion. The substantial text links surviving items in historic houses and museums to written evidence, paintings, drawings and other primary sources to provide a firm framework for dating pieces of less-certain provenance. The importance of the ‘laceman’, the maker of these trimmings, is also examined within an economic and social context, together with the relationship to the upholsterer and interior decorator in the creation of a fashionable room.Trade Reviewan extraordinary work of dedicated scholarship … this book is an essential one for the library of anyone with a serious interest in country-house decoration. -- Jeremy Musson * Country Life *Lavishly illustrated, with fascinating tales … [Westman] paints a vivid picture of how trimmings evolved throughout different ages and styles. * The English Home *…a triumph of research, textual and visual, with a sustained attention to detail. Richly illustrated and packed with information, it looks set to become the standard text in its field. -- Christopher Stocks * House & Garden *…simultaneously highly erudite and richly luxurious… -- Michael Hall * The Victorian *This is a sumptuous book, which traces the history of trimmings for furnishing and interior decoration in Britain and Ireland, … lavishly illustrated with new colour photography and impregnated with sound scholarship from the leading expert in the field. -- Lisa White * The Furniture History Society *The book is a physical and beautifully visual distillation of Westman’s knowledge, with lavish illustrations, frequently extending over two pages...a glorious, detailed and readable study… an invaluable tool to rediscover lost decoration. -- Susan Jenkins * The Georgian *An immediate clue to the subject matter of this teasingly titled book is its beautiful presentation: what might be considered a niche topic is here revealed as an essential aspect of interior decoration and for long periods by far the most glamorous and conspicuously expensive… No scholar could be better placed than Annabel Westman to write this book, which is informed by forty years’ experience of researching and implementing reinstallations of historic upholstery schemes. It will prove invaluable to a wide readership, including economic and social historians, historians of taste and interior decoration (not only of furniture and upholstery), curators and those engaged in historic reconstructions, as well as designers and decorators seeking inspiration. The book will not be superseded. -- Lucy Wood * The Burlington *Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction 1. The Role of the Silkwoman 1320-1550 2. The Role of the Silkman 1550-1660 3.

Rizzoli Beth Webb an Eye for Beauty Rooms That Speak to
Book SynopsisThe first book from the acclaimed Atlanta interior designer, known for elegantly collected interiors. Beth Webb believes that regardless of who we are or what kind of style we prefer, beauty and comfort are paramount for any home. Because each room is an environment, her design elevates the everyday by speaking to the five senses. In this lavishly illustrated book, Webb explores the fundamentals of creating a home in which every element we see and touch, and how the room makes us feel, enhance our ability to live well. Drawing from her background in the fine arts, Webb offers insight into how form, line, and scale render a space timeless and promote a sense of well-being. There should be texture, calm colors, and plenty of visual moments to keep the eye moving. There should be impeccable tailoring and polished details. And most important, there should be soul, meaning that the house must reflect its owners and their evolving lifestyle. Webb gracefullyTrade Review"Although the overall design of a room is important, Webb explains that for her, the real beauty is found in the details. And her book reflects that philosophy, with time and space dedicated to an arrangement of peonies or the embroidery on a billow 'to bring people into the emotionality of the book.'"—Southern Home" '–...She had a huge library, she painted, her husband painted...,' recounts the Atlanta-based designer, whose upcoming book Beth Webb: An Eye for Beauty: Rooms That Speak to the Senses (Rizzoli, September 2017) details this whole home and others from her portfolio."—Architectural Digest"Best Books"—MarkDSikes.com"Atlanta designer Beth Webb achieves a harmonious balance between comfort and elegance with her approach to gracious living."—Southern Lady "Webb’s interiors reflect the sure hand and sharp eye of someone who understands form, line, color, and balance. The serene sanctuaries she creates have an effortless feel that should not be mistaken for a decorator on autopilot."—Flower Magazine“We use them in media rooms, living rooms, dining rooms, mudrooms and foyers,” said Beth Webb, an Atlanta-based interior designer whose book “An Eye for Beauty: Rooms That Speak to the Senses” (Rizzoli) is out this September. “It’s one of the most versatile pieces in our arsenal."—The New York Times "Webb focuses on all the senses to create an experience for her homeowners that makes them feel content and nourished in their homes. And that is evident on every page."—Design Chic"Drawing on her background in fine arts, she explains how color, texture and a variety of visual moments can impact the design of the room, but ultimately the design should reflect the owners and their lifestyle."—EditorAtLarge.com"Beth Webb: An Eye For Beauty is Atlanta based designer Beth Webb’s first book (oh, Beth, let thy beautiful eye create many more!) which features the most sumptuously beautiful and comforting spaces with traditional decor you can imagine."—Hello Lovely"Beth Webb’s unique approach to home decor will have you seeing your space in a whole new way—think all five senses of sight, touch, scent, hearing, and taste. Sounds weird? Maybe, but that’s what makes it oh-so special."—Domino"Beth Webb’s book is filled with so many appealing images that showcase her take on utilizing space in a home and creating and designing rooms that are appealing to the senses. Beth fosters a strong belief in the old-fashioned cliché that “less is more” and refers to having a balance of “the precious and the practical” for everyday living."—Charming Chelsey"On My Bookshelf: Fall Must-Haves"—La Dolce Vita Blog

Book SynopsisFulfilling a lifetime dream of finding a house by the sea, Pearl Lowe now brings her laid-back decorating style to coastal living with Faded Glamour by the Sea. Pearl Lowe's gloriously decadent yet perfectly lived-in decorating style was featured in her bestselling interiors book Faded Glamour. Now Pearl is taking us to the coast, and in Faded Glamour by the Sea we get the first glimpse of her new home – a beautiful renovation project that she and her husband, musician Danny Goffey, have created in East Sussex. Built in the 1940s for an artist whose shell sculptures are still dotted round the garden, the house and adjacent cabins have been lovingly restored by Pearl. The house may have been a life-long dream for the couple, who have always loved the solace of water, but it has only been just over a year in the making, thanks to the inspiration Pearl has drawn from many friends who live in the area and also further afield. And so she takes us on a tour of their seaside homes. A pair of antique dealers whose love of all things French inspired them to set up their own brocante in Kent; an artist with a love of beach huts; an author who swapped London life for a clifftop house with his own writer’s hut. Add to this the Malibu beachfront home of stylist Rachel Ashwell, the hippy-chic style of supermodel Helena Christensen’s waterside retreat and the ‘punk noir Victorian’ vibe of the hotel created by friends from rock band The Libertines. In Faded Glamour by the Sea Pearl visits these properties, and as the owners tell their stories she explains how she found inspiration for this new chapter in her life.

A Clements home is the perfect backdrop for jaw-dropping art collections that may include Picasso, MorTrade Review"The mother-and-son founders of the Los Angeles firm Clements Design invite readers to wander through eight residences that embody their philosophy: that luxury should feel both intimate and effortless. From gray-blue living rooms to stone libraries accented with Persian rugs and Prouvé chairs, the textures that make a Clements home are captured in stunning detail." —ALTA MAGAZINE"Star-studded testimonials dot this new tome on in-demand L.A. design duo Clements Design. 'When I have a vision for a room, they are there to fill in the blanks, to bring it all together, to make it sing,' musician Adam Levine writes about Kathleen and Tommy Clements, the mother-son pair whose understatedly elegant work has captivated some of Hollywood’s most stylish movers and shakers. The book, edited by AD’s West Coast editor Mayer Rus, presents artful photographs of eight of the AD100 firm’s completed homes. Sans captions, the images invite the reader to take in the unspoken energy that courses through them, reflecting the dynamic worlds of the residences’ inhabitants. As the Clementses succinctly put it in the preface: 'A home should be visceral and emotional. It should wrap you up like a blanket.'" —ALLIE WEISS, ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST"In this book, mother-and-son team Clements Design present eight projects that exemplify the pared-back, elegant style their celebrity clients love." —ELLE DECOR

Book SynopsisContinuing her exploration of English interiors, Ros Byam Shaw visits 14 distinctive townhouses full of charm, character and style.In Perfect English Townhouse, Ros Byam Shaw examines the timeless English style of decoration in a variety of Georgian, Victorian, and contemporary townhouses.

Or allocate space effectively when you live across five floors? And how do you maximize any outdoor space? Perfect English Townhouse features case studies of such homes, not only in London but also in the provincial towns and cities of England.
