About the Item
"Miniature Rooms: The Thorne Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago," by Kathleen Aguilar and Michael Anderson.
Generations of visitors to the Art Institute of Chicago have been fascinated by the Thorne Miniature Rooms. Painstakingly constructed to a scale of one inch to one foot, their fascinating models recreate 68 European and American interiors from the 16th to the 20th Century.
Every room has a shoebox-sized setting waiting for the characters to enter and the viewers' imagination to take over. Ms. James Ward Thorne conceived each room, carefully researched every detail, and then had master artisans execute the pieces to her requested specifications. Each room in this charming book is reproduced in color. An introductory text chronicles Mrs. Thorne's creation of the interiors, while individual commentaries provide information about each decoration. It is a volume that will prove irresistible to collectors, miniaturists, architects, historians, interior designers, and anyone who has ever loved a dollhouse.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.
