Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. ROBSJOHN-GIBBINGS, T.H. [106] pp. Alfred A. Knopf 1944 Third Printing 8 3/4" x 5 7/8" Illustrated by Mary Petty Jacket in full colors by Mary Petty As World War II claimed the lives of millions, the noted modernist interior designer launched a crusade against the real threat to the civilized world: Elsie de Wolfe, Syrie Maugham, and their obsession with antique furniture. With great wit, Robsjohn-Gibbings questions the centuries-old notion that antiques are more desirable than newly designed furniture, skewering Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Sheraton, and etc. He goes so far as to declare Harry K. Thaw a hero for murdering Stanford White, because it prematurely terminated the career of this celebrated Beaux Arts architect. Hilarious but also informative.
