The book is an encyclopedic and authoritative sourcebook of two centuries of furnishing textiles, illustrated with examples from both sides of the Atlantic and charting the changing tastes and technical innovations of succeeding decades from 1790 to the present day.

The authors look at every style of interior, from the houses of the aristocracy to those of the very poor, spanning the range of ordinary homes between these two extremes. A wide variety of illustrations of the fabrics themselves is supplemented with pictures of rooms, showing how they were used at windows, on floors, in upholstery and drapery and in other forms.
