The French Country House

by Chri Nicolay-mazery

The French Country House Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An exceptionally charming look at the art of good living as practiced in the French countryside by families who live in old manor houses, many owned by the same family for centuries. A delightfully anecdotal text and all-color photographs explore not only the fabrics, wallpapers, fine furniture, silver, china and linens that decorate these homes, but also treasures found in the attics, such as family photo albums, cherished love letters, antique toys, and elegant ballgowns carefully packed away.

Synopsis:

This book presents the art of good living in the French country manner on an accessible, intimate scale.
