This concise guide explores styles of British decorative art from the time of Henry VIII to the death of Queen Victoria. Nineteen key styles are featured, ranging from the splendour of the Baroque, and the romance of the Medieval revival, to the innovative Arts and Crafts movement in the late nineteenth century. Significant designers, patrons and arbiters of taste are included, along with the major buildings and interiors for which they were responsible. The majority of works illustrated come from the V&A's superlative collections of British art and design.
