Interiors, fireplaces & furniture of the Italian renaissance
A 1916 New York architectural survey by Harold Donaldson Eberlein, published by the Architectural Book Publishing Company, documenting Italian Renaissance interiors, fireplaces and furniture for architects and decorators. The photographs show carved stone and wood chimneypieces, doorways with pediments and pilasters, and ornate chairs and cabinets, pictured in tilted plates with printed captions beneath; a designer might draw on their classical moulding profiles, carved scroll brackets and rich panelled woodwork.
