The Age of Enlightenment, a period of immense cultural and intellectual transformation, witnessed a remarkable transformation in the realm of interior design and interior spaces. Interiors in the Age of Enlightenment offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of this rich cultural history, spanning from 1700 to 1850. This volume takes a unique approach by considering the interior as a material, social, and cultural artifact, moving beyond mere descriptive accounts of changing styles and interior design fashions. Instead, it delves deep into the profound impact of the materials, processes, aesthetic philosophies, and cultural attitudes of the age on the interior.
Spanning a wide range of spaces, from the opulent Palace of Versailles to the humble coffeehouses of Virginia, and from the exotic Chinoiserie bathhouses to the bustling trading exchanges of the West Indies, the chapters in this book examine a diverse array of themes. These include technological advancements, public spaces, gender and sexuality, and global movements in interior designs and decorations.
Drawing upon the expertise of leading scholars from various fields, Interiors in the Age of Enlightenment presents the most authoritative and comprehensive survey of the history of interiors and interior architecture in the long eighteenth century. This volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike, shedding light on the intricate connections between culture, society, and the built environment during this transformative period.
