This is a practical manual for those wishing to use decorative finishes on their furniture, walls and floors.

There are chapters on gilding, more complex finishes such as marble, Japanese lacquer, wall-glazing, crackle finish, shagreen, "trompe l'oeil", as well as stencilling and painting techniques including stippling, dragging, chamois, sponging, distressing and ageing with wax and pigment.
