The Regency Country House

Beautiful pictures of the amazing architecture of the English estate homes of a time long past. The elegance and beauty is almost beyond belief. The enormity of these homes is hard to comprehend, but the balance of design is perfection! Amazing book to own and enjoy!

A look at our past--Regency Style

The Regency Country House: From the Archives of Country Life, is an outstanding book. The pictures were beautifully done, the text understandable and knowledgable. I was grateful for pictures of hallways, stairs, receiving rooms and private rooms of family life. I could easily imagine myself in another time as I looked at the interiors of the homes people built and lived in from the past. I really felt I paid far too little for the value I received in this book. If you have an interest in decorating styles, furniture history, or just a curiosity about the past, I would highly recommend this book.
