Items related to Behind the Facade: Four Centuries of Scottish Interiors
The evocative illustrations included in the book come mostly from the National Monuments Record of Scotland and, married to Sheila Mackay's vivid text, guide readers behind the facades of private houses, from towerhouses to tenements, as well as houses which are open to the public. Brochs, baronial towerhouses, vivid painted ceilings, Renaissance carved furniture, corbels and crowsteps, Mary Queen of Scot's embroidery, glorious plasterwork and classical embellishments, Paisley weaves, stained glass, Edinburgh Style and Glasgow Style furniture and objects, architects who worked in the Scottish tradition: from William Adam and his sons to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Robert Lorimer; travellers who commented on the way Scots lived including Daniel Defoe and Thomas Pennant ... all this and much more finds a place in Behind the Facade, a book which firmly roots the evolution of Scottish interiors in the cultural and social influences of a developing nation.
