- Summary:
- This collection of fifteen articles on historic home preservation and restoration examines several key problems in historic conservation and discusses processes and materials in a variety of specific aspects of historical home conservation. Beginning with an essay on general principles, chapters cover topics such as stone floors, cantilever stairs, decorative plaster work, woodwork, metalwork and gilding, chimneypieces, wallpaper, textiles, ceramics and glass, historic lighting, paint and interior decorating and fire safety for historic homes. The contributors are experts in architecture, historic preservations, and building materials from UK public and private organizations, and the information and examples in the book refer to classic English architectural and design periods.
