Book Synopsis Russian Imperial Style by : Laura Cerwinske
Book excerpt: In this text the reader is introduced to the world of pre-revolutionary Russia, where the decorative arts flourished. Since Peter the Great's time, Russian artists and craftsmen had looked westwards for their inspiration but the European styles were transmuted and transformed by the Russian sensibility, producing a style of its own. This book describes that process over two centuries, covering fashion, jewellery, icons, furniture, objects d'art, decorative paintings, porcelain, tableware and the style of life which went with them.
