About this book

Designs for chimney glasses and chimney pieces of the time of Inigo Jones is a pattern book gathering chimneypiece, overmantel, and mirror designs from the period of the English architect Inigo Jones (1573-1652) and his circle. Jones introduced the classical Italian Renaissance style of Palladio into English architecture and was Surveyor of the King's Works to James I and Charles I. His Queen's House at Greenwich and the Banqueting House at Whitehall established the Palladian classical mode that would dominate English country house design for more than two centuries. This book reproduces designs from his drawings and from the work of his pupils and successors, and was used as a source for eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century Palladian revival interiors.
