From ancient pottery to Tiffany stained glass, decorative art has been a fundamental part of the human experience for generations. Whilst fine art is confined to galleries and museums, decorative art is the art of the everyday, combining beauty with functionality in objects ranging from the prosaic to the fantastical. In this work, Victoria Charles celebrates the beauty and artistic potential behind even the most quotidian of objects. Readers will walk away from this text with a newfound appreciation for the subtle artistry of the manufactured world.
