Rattan: A World of Elegance and Charm

A truly lovely history of a massively underrated style

Everything fine!

This book was given to me as a present. I was rushing when it arrived, so meant to just glance... it was impossible.It is a most captivating book, an experience, not just a read. The photographs are so atmospheric, showing romance, quirkiness, eccentricity and tremendous understated but absolute glamour. It's hard not to smile at so many of the pictures. I found myself thinking, "That's the best of the lot" then turning the page and thinking, "So's that!" again and again.So diligently researched and beautifully delivered, this seemingly uninspiring topic becomes completely alive and fascinating. Lulu Lytle's passion is effortlessly persuasive.Buy it, give it, keep it, read it, savour it. The loveliest book I've seen in a long time.
