Description: | This catalogue for Liberty's shows two shoppers admiring the new Tudor-style Liberty shop built on Great Marlborough Street in 1924. The architects designed it to look like a series of shops rather than just one.
The interiors carried through the Tudor theme; full of dark wood and galleried walks and light wells. The departments were intimate and the floors uneven, lending more old-world charm to the Liberty shopping experience.
Architecturally the shop was as far from modernism as it was possible to get. Liberty was aligning itself with tradition; building the largest example of 'Tudorbethan' extravagance London had seen. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | Liberty & Co.
