Whether in the transformation of a derelict estate, the preservation of an historic hunting lodge, or the re-creation of a Gothic fantasy, each of the homes in this extraordinary book reflects a renewed vitality in the contemporary approach to Irish country houses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRich in detail and varied in scope, the houses reveal a refreshing dynamism in their decoration by equally diverse owners--from the ornate refurbishment of a castle by a Mexican financier to the bold palette of a contemporary artist's renovation to an Elizabethan Revival house. The sparse interiors of a mansion in Westmeath reflect its painstaking restoration by descendants of the original owners, and at Coollattin--Ireland's largest country house, part restored, part still in disrepair--the building's baroque splendor is amplified by its raw, unfinished state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccompanying photography of the houses made specially for the book, the author guides readers through fifteen exceptional spaces, elucidating the remarkable aspects of each--and in doing so celebrates the unexpected eclecticism and reinvigorated spirit of Ireland's historic interiors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli International Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847832835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Robert O'Byrne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561473372341,"sku":"9780847832835","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_17e7873e-c8e5-4ffc-b6c6-5aa74484320e.jpg?v=1723525676","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-irish-country-house-a-new-vision-9780847832835","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
