One of the most beautiful books I've ever seen

This book is about an 18th c house in Brittany which has been bought and lived in by a couple who run an interiors shop called Antoinette Poisson in Paris, the name is that of Madame de Pompadour before her court days. The couple were told about the house when it was about to come on the market because it had been unchanged for hundreds of years. The book features the house as it is now, and it is stunning, the couple have furnished it with furniture from the period, used paints with carefully chosen pigments and hand made papers. It is superb, a remarkable project beautifully executed and the photography so atmospheric and respectful of the beauty in textures, natural light and waxed well wood, its amazing how different this is to modern varnish and you can clearly see this in the photos. If you like books by Ron Byam Shaw you'll love this. It has a few recipes in too, that are typically French and features on remarkable local people, like the chap who makes paper locally, but not just any paper, beautifully hand made paper and there are other similar people. People with a passion for things and committing so much time to things are to be encouraged in society and I love this book for the way it celebrates beauty and integrity, its a dream to flick through & I think my next holiday might be to Port Louis, its a Mecca for creative & history loving types.

useless book

dime a dozen.

Nothing special

I was expecting a lot more. If you like crafts then this might be for you. I found it vacuous and lacking any useful content, even the recipes. A few atmospheric pictures…
