About the Item

The Last Country Houses by Clive Aslet. New Haven: Yale University Press. First edition hardcover with dust jacket, 1982. 344 pp. The social and architectural history of the prosperous era in Great Britain between 1890 and 1939. The book describes the clients, the architects, the styles and the accoutrements of the country houses. The people who could afford them–the Carnegies, the Astors, and the Leverhulmes, had grown rich by exploiting the new economic opportunities of the age. There were two contrasting ways of life, the social, and the romantic country house. The social country house was the setting of the opulent world associated with Edward VII and the romantic country house was simpler and more rural. NPT Books, a division of N.P. Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.

The English Country House By: James Peill Foreword by Julian Fellowes Photographs by James Fennell “I am sure that this book will give great pleasure to any who open its covers.” —Julian Fellowes, from the Foreword Stately, grand, and a testament to the generations who have cared for them, the 10 English country houses featured in this volume are architecturally distinctive and filled with evocative family memorabilia, from commissioned portraits to monogrammed heirloom dinner services to the bells that once summoned the downstairs staff. Like the fictional Downton Abbey, these real homes are still in the hands of descendants of the original owners.
