Good. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. An important work by Paul Frankl (1886-1958) that looks beyond his well-known work in furniture design to encompass both the architecture and interior design style then known as Art Moderne era, later to be known as Art Deco. Frankl rode the Art Moderne wave, but one can see from this publication how he was beginning to adapt that streamlined style to one that evolved as the Depression waned and the war in Europe began to build. This copy is inscribed by Frankl below his frontispiece portrait, "To George Neville in true/friendship/Paul T Frankl" 111 pp. Folio. Dust jacket has considerable wear, chipping, and losses; now in mylar cover. Beige buckram cover with brown horizontal lines printed across front and rear boards; some staining. Preliminary pages front and rear have darkened from age and water damage at one point in its life. Clean within.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 429 p. New York. Fo. First edition, first printing. Publisher's folio 3/4 blue leather hardcover, gilt title stamped title on spine cover, paper covered boards with leather end caps, illustrated text, ink inscribed by the author/designer " For Gregory - with thanks Mario Buatta 10.26.13" on the title page. Measures: 1.75 W x 9.75 x 12.25 H inches. About the author/designer and his work: Mario Buatta (1935-2018), the AD100 interior decorator was hailed for decades as the Prince of Chintz because of the cheerful flowered fabrics that were a signature element of his English country style rooms. The extremely popular interiors for which Buatta became renowned including a parade of influential settings for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House and notably lavish, ultrafeminine bedrooms were American in their sense of gusto and color but utterly English in their comfort, layering, and love of history. As The New York Times observed in 1970, he was the first to admit that he was born in the wrong century; his love is the ebullient English Regency period and most of the things surrounding him are choice examples of the early 19th century. Buatta freely admitted his indebtedness to grandees of inventive traditionalism such as Parish, Rose Cumming, and particularly John Fowler and Nancy Lancaster of London s Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler. Sometimes, though, his tributes cut too close to the bone. Young man, if you re going to copy me, you could ve done a better job, Fowler coolly observed when Buatta proudly brandished a photograph of his Manhattan apartment, which was then being heralded in the United States and which Buatta later cheerfully admitted was a real copycat room. Born and raised in Staten Island, New York, a son of violinist and bandleader Phil Burton (née Felice Buatta, aka Felix Buatta, aka Phil Buatta) and a grandson of Italian immigrant craftsmen one grandfather was a carpenter, the other was a plasterer the future decorator grew up disenchanted with all things modern. Antiques were more to his liking, preferably of English origin, and decoration, ditto, neither of which described Olive and Felix Buatta s modest redbrick home at 534 Oakland Avenue in Staten Island s West Brighton neighborhood. My parents built it in the '30s and furnished it with glass and steel and chrome, all the sorts of things that are terribly popular today, he said in an interview with Barbaralee Diamondstein-Spielvogel in the 1980s, adding, as if to explain his ardent Anglophilia, You find that a lot of people who were brought up with chrome and steel are suddenly living in very embellished kinds of rooms. (AD) CONDITION NOTES: Fine; light wear not commensurate with age and use (e.g. rubbed wear at a corner tip of spine crown), strong square spine/tight binding, crisp and clean text pages.

Onassis printed stationery card/envelope sets by Tiffany & Co New York, and two other envelopes. Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis (n e Bouvier, 1929Ð1994) was an American socialite, writer, photographer, and book editor who served as the first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. A popular first lady, she endeared the American public with her devotion to her family, dedication to the historic preservation of the White House, the campaigns she led to preserve and restore historic landmarks and architecture along with her interest in American history, culture and arts. During her lifetime, she was regarded as an international icon for her unique fashion choices, and her work as a cultural ambassador of the United States made her very popular globally. After the assassination and funeral of her husband in 1963, Kennedy and her children largely withdrew from public view. In 1968, she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, which caused controversy. Following Onassis's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor in New York City, first at Viking Press and then at Doubleday, and worked to restore her public image. Georgine Fairholme was born in London, 18 August 1927, and attended St MartinÕs School of Art in London. She subsequently worked at interior designer Joy KingÕs Elizabeth Eaton shop in Belgravia before joining the esteemed London firm Colefax & Fowler in 1964, where she became a prot g of decorator John Fowler, founder of the firm. She re-located to New York to work in the firmÕs Manhattan office and later joined Rose Cumming, in whose studio she met the designer Harrison Cultra (1941-1983.) Together they formed the Cultra-Fairholme partnership, clients included Richard H. Jenrette and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis amongst others. In 1986, Architectural Digest called Fairholme the Òdoyenne of English Country Style.Ó On retirement she moved to Italy thence for the last 17 years of her life to Lavenham, Suffolk. Provenance by descent. Very good. Signedes.
