About this product
Product Information
Home to Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, for over 50 years they covered the walls, furniture and ceramics with their own decorations, forming a unique and fascinating collection. Frequent visitors to the house included Virginia Woolf and Roger Fry. Now Painstakingly restored, this delightful book is official guide to Charleston's rooms. Also, Angelica Garnett explains her part in the restoration; Quentin Bell recollects the garden; and Henrietta Garnett's memoir of her grandmother paints a vibrant picture of life among this century's most famous group of friends.Product Identifiers

At Home at Charleston, the artists' creation
Written by descendents of Vanessa Stephen Bell, it's is authoritative.Although the photos are faded because of the age of the book and the limited technology for printing them, they give a wonderful picture of Charleston. There are photos of visitors (Milton Keynes, Virginia Woolf, for example) as well as of the decorated rooms and the gardens. Together with the text, they give a full description of Charleston, and a wonderful evocative insight into the people who lived and visited there.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
