WELCOME
 
Acanthus Press publishes at the intersection of
material culture and architectural history. Our
award-winning books chronicle the lost histories
of houses and objects, of clients and designers.
From New York to Los Angeles, from St. Paul to
Miami, Acanthus Press seeks to publish the
undiscovered, the under-appreciated, the rare,
and the exceptional.

“This supremely elegant book soars on silver wings through  Syrie Maugham’s gossamer legacy ....To me, her skill in bringing humour, that all-important ingredient, into the pale voluptuous rooms that were her trademark, is paramount... and each of these fascinating photographs, many hitherto unseen, reveal her remoulding of tradition, her fearless creativity.” —Nicky Haslam
