Product information
Full publisher description
An exhibition which celebrates 80 years of conservation work by the Georgian Group.
The exhibition aims to transport the visitor into a world of craftsmanship, beauty
and design. Gathering together an eclectic selection of traditional 'Georgian' crafts
practised in the 21st century, objects range from silk wallpaper and chandeliers to
carved stone sculpture and ceiling designs. The works on display demonstrate that
the Georgian tradition is a living tradition, and is one that should be supported and
preserved.
Founded in 1937, the Georgian Group is a conservation organisation created to
campaign for the preservation of historic buildings and planned landscapes of the
18th and early 19th centuries.
