Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christiane de Nicolay-Mazery, a specialist in furniture and antiques at Christies and Honelon, invites her readers to enter the elegantly luxurious interiors of some of France's most exclusive abodes. From the classic taste of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the creativity of the nineteenth century, she traces the path to the finesse of the twentieth century, which combines tradition and modernity. The interiors portrayed in these nine exquisitely illustrated chapters pay tribute to the refinement of French taste, a savoir-faire that has been continually renewed. Classic hôtels particuliers in the heart of Paris and romantic châteaux, as well as a surprising isba--a traditional rural log house in the Russian style--are but a few of the examples of the kinds of interiors that will inspire readers as they marvel over the art of French designers, including Madeleine Castaing, Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Jacques Grange, François Joseph Graff, and Pierre Bergé. Unlike most books on French style on the market, this book is not only a testimony to timeless French elegance, it is an invitation to discover a synthesis of contemporary and classic décor, in some of France's most exclusive residences, firsthand.

Book excerpt: An intimate tour of quintessential Provencal style, featuring chic homes and interior details inspired by this picturesque region Thirty years after the publication of Peter Mayle's bestselling memoir A Year in Provence, the sun-drenched southern French region continues to excite home decorators with its combination of rustic charm, elegant details, and historical influences. Provence Style showcases the best of the region, with Shauna Varvel's quintessential 18th-century Rhône valley farmhouse--Le Mas des Poiriers--as its centerpiece. Named for the working pear orchard on the grounds, the property was reimagined by noted local architect Alexandre Lafourcade, who transformed a rough structure into a luxurious expression of the Provençal aesthetic, referencing historical influences, rural traditions, and Parisian taste. Set amid a garden of allées, arbors, and terraces designed by the architect's mother, renowned landscape designer Dominique Lafourcade, this exemplar of Provençal style is the starting point for exploring the region's characteristic interior details and exterior features. The book includes chapters on the public spaces of the home, from entrances to living rooms, the private realm of bedrooms and bathrooms, and outdoor areas including patios and kitchen gardens, transporting the reader on a captivating stylistic journey.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Guide to French Interiors, Furniture, Decoration, Woodwork Allied Arts: During the Last Half of the Seventeenth Century, the Whole of the Eighteenth Century and the Earlier Part of the Nineteenth Simon Vouet was born in 1590 and died in 1649. He is regarded as the promoter of the great art movement in France founded on the Renaissance. He visited Italy and studied there the works of some of the great artists, including Paul Veronese, Valentin, and Caravaggio. On his recall to Paris by Louis XIII., in 1627, Vouet became principal painter to the King, and had apartments allotted to him at the Louvre. He was the master of LeBrun, Pierre Mignard, Le Sueur, and many others. While in Italy Louis XIII. had already accorded him a pension. He was for a long time employed on making designs for tapestries. He also gave lessons to the King in crayon drawing. He is regarded as the founder of the French school. As he was one of the designers of tapestries, I have thought it best to show one or two engravings from his works to give some idea of his style. He was a prodigious worker, and a great number of his works have been engraved. They have been published in a work called "Ouvre de Vouet." There is a copy at the Victoria and Albert Museum which appears to have belonged to Sir Joshua Reynolds. The designs in it are mostly of religious subjects, and are in a fine, bold, and well-proportioned style. It includes at the end another work of his called "Livre de Diverses Grotesques Peintes dans le Cabinet et Bains de la Reyne Regente au Palais Royal." An eminent writer on decorative art says of Vouet, having no doubt these last designs in his mind: - "He makes for the first time in French Renaissance that abundant use of floral detail in association with more conventional scroll work, which becomes by and by a characteristic of the period of the 'Grand Monarque.' One sees in him, too, the forerunner of Le Pautre and Berain, both of whom he seems to have influenced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
