Documenting the appearance of the five senses in art from the Middle Ages until the present, the author focuses on the production of Sèvres porcelain during the Restoration period of the 18th century. Due to the overwhelming amount of material that depict the senses in art, this book does not attempt to do justice to this topic. However, this small book provides surprising insight into the desire of artists from this time to aptly capture the range of sensory experience on media as varied as porcelain sculpture, dinnerware, lamps, paintings, drawings, and lithographs.

The Stockholm designer and scenographer, Caroline Romare, shows us how to re-make older clothing and bits-and-pieces from the attic or the bureau drawer, and how to appreciate the quality of salvageable detail and high-quality fabrics in older garments and accessories. This is defintiely not the ragamuffin thrift-shop look, but elegantly arty outfits and childrens’ clothes. The book inlcudes patterns and some needlework stencils. Some very clever ideas for a personal wardrobe includes patterns for fabric and embroidery.
