As a result, the country's aristocratic palaces became repositories of treasure gathered from around the globe. But so too, thanks to the spread of an Empire providing goods from across the globe, did almost every residence in England. Romantic English Homes features 13 such houses, the majority never before photographed. Large or small, old or new, they all convey an impression of massed objects intentionally mingling styles and tastes, the classical placed next to the gothic, tartan pattern competing with floral print. Decorated with defiant eclecticism, the buildings featured here, brought to you by Robert O'Byrne, indicate that although the Empire may have gone, the English love of collecting remains as strong as ever. Criss-crossing the country, from Dorset, Devon and Cornwall to East Anglia and Suffolk, from London to Lancashire and Shropshire, it is both the romantic timelessness of these properties and their many-layered appearance that makes them so alluring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert O'Byrne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907563296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907563294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.70h x 9.98w x 0.88d","brand":"Robert O'Byrne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984474603775,"sku":"9781907563294","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a110fc0-514e-4958-bab7-0e78a0959ea8.jpg?v=1683272518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/romantic-english-homes-robert-obyrne-9781907563294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
