Houghton Revisited, Exhibition of the Year 2013

This large 23 x 29 cm hardcover book with dust jacket has 255 beautifully illustrated pages. “Houghton is one of Britain’s most spectacular Palladian houses. Built without regard to cost, the house stands witness to the taste and discernment of Sir Robert Walpole. Houghton’s unusually well-preserved English baroque interiors and furniture are the work of the supremely talented designer William Kent, whose drawings of the arrangement of works of art in situ are among those that have contributed to making possible this precise re-creation.”
