Tjolöholms slott : an enchanted house Upplaga 1

A book about Tjolöholm is a book about architecture and interior design. But it is also a book of stories. Few places in Sweden can offer as many fascinating and captivating stories as Tjolöholm. The book runs through time and space - from the mid-19th century to the 1960s. From Scotland to Fjärås and Ceylon. It reflects the spirit of the time and the world of ideas in a Sweden that is developing from a peasant society to an industrial society with unwavering faith in the future. Architecture and craftsmanship at the highest level in a magnificent facility that is a perfect blend of Swedish national romanticism and the British arts & crafts style that has come to the fore again today. Open the door and enter the story of a fabulous and unique castle. Sneaked between rocks and sea, it reigns as an alien bird in its Tudor style and heavy granite. The light dances in the large windows and inside are the rooms with their sumptuous but homely decor where the fires crackle in the corner of the fireplace. Also meet the people who created it: Builder Blanche Dickson and architect Lars Israel Wahlman. -Welcome to this enchanting world.
