Architecture and Interior Design from the 19th Century Chapter 11 Romanesque Revival, Richardsonian Romanesque Concept: One of the main influential people of the time was German architect Heinrich Hubsch.

The Castellani jewelry firm (1814 – 1927) became known for its “Italian Archaeological jewelry,”[1] which consisted of copies and imitations of Roman, Greek, and Etruscan jewelry. The firm’s works in this style became especially popular starting in the 1850s due to a rise in nationalism as a result of efforts to unify Italy, though they
1921 is often cited as the year Modernism came to Murano. This date, of course, coincides with the opening of the Venini glassworks. And while it is true that the Venini company was modern in every…
Who else would be right at home here? I love Switzerland - all of it! It is my favorite country in the world for myriad reasons, and it would be a dream to build a barn in this style. With the ornate woodwork decorating the facades, to the regular use of a heart in their knotty-pine decor, the Swiss chalet has something that appeals to everyone. **THESE IMAGES ARE Al - We are currently seeking copyrights on all material so while pending consider them copyrighted to Equine Residences ™️**
Last week’s rate the dress was almost universally unpopular, and also quite confusing: what colour was it? Gold? Green? Grey-faune as the auction listing gave it? To simplify the confusion, this week I’ve picked a dress in a very simple colour. It’s pale pink. I don’t think anyone is going to argue with that! (We could get quite detailed about the exact hue though…cherry blossom? Blush? ) Last week: an 1876 reception or day dress said to have been worn by Empress Eugenie I’m actually away for the next week, rusticating in the glorious rural swathes of New Zealand, away from reliable internet. So I haven’t tallied the votes yet. But I can tell you what the overall verdict is going to be: not good.

This week: an 1870s gown with historically inspired details. This week I’m sticking with the same timeperiod as last week, …
The Historical Sew Monthly Challenge #9 is Historicism: Make a historical garment that was itself inspired by the fashions of another historical period. Up until the early 19th century, to the best of my knowledge (caveat: my pre 1660 fashion history is pretty weak, so I’m happy to be corrected here!) historicism in fashionable dress was predominantly focused on emulating and borrowing from ancient Greek and Rome. I say fashionable dress, because regional styles in certain areas often used elements that went out of fashion in the main centres decades, if not centuries, before. This isn’t historicism in its truest sense, because its a case of styles stagnating, rather than intentionally borrowing from the past. Depending on how you look at historicism, one exception to the reliance on ‘the ancients’ as an inspiration from the past is the robe de coer. The robe de coer, based on Louis the Sun King’s favourite elements of female dress in his youth in the 1660s and 70s, was implemented as the required court dress in France in the …
