From Publisher:

Superb examples of interior design through the ages are on view in the period rooms at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. These exhibition galleries are depicted in this book, from a Roman bedroom excavated near Pompeii and a Louis XVI grand salon from 18th-century Paris to the Frank Lloyd Wright room in the museum's American Wing. Photographs of 35 installations - some actual room taken from historic buildings and some re-creations intended to show related works of decorative art in an authentic setting - offer a grand tour through the history of interiors.
