Riassunto

Kevin Mulvany and Susie Rogers create some of the world’s most magnificent and coveted architectural miniatures. Museums and private collectors commission their beautiful work, which covers many periods and countries, and ranges from the double-horseshoe staircase that leads up to Fontainebleau to the outrageously decadent chandeliers at the Brighton Pavilion. This beautifully illustrated book captures the full breadth of Mulvany and Rogers’ achievements, and reveals the techniques and materials they use to fashion their stunning recreations. Practical projects for the reader include wood paneling, parquet flooring, trompe l’oeil marbling, and much more.

"Their [Husband-and-wife team Susie Rogers and Kevin Mulvany] new book, Magnificant Miniatures, looks back on 25 years of their work, allowing the reader ample opportunity to marvel at the patience and skill that has resulted in these tiny works of arts. But the book doesn't merely offer visual inspiration - there are practical projects too, with clear step-by-step instructions for creating wood-panelling, parquet, trompe l'oeil, electrification - everything, in fact, that may help you create a home for the most exacting of Homily Clocks." --Bath Life
