The house dignified; its design, its arrangement and its decoration
An American interior-decoration manual by Lillie Hamilton French, published by Putnam in New York in 1908 for wealthy homeowners and their architects. Halftone photographs record entrance halls, drawing rooms and dining rooms in Gilded Age houses, showing coffered ceilings, carved mantels, paneled doors and period furniture that supply patterns, moldings and room-scale reference.
