How to do the Flowers by Constance Spry

Paperback with card covers. Foreword by Beverley Nichols. Constance Spry’s work in this field is now so well known that this book is now considered a classic master piece. Sixty years ago British society florist Constance Spry (1886-1960) used a whole range of kitchen and dinnerware for the flower arrangements presented in her concise guide How to do the flowers (1952). As Mrs. Spry was also principal of a cookery school, her choice of fish-pans, sauce-boats and cake-tins must have been abundant. Mrs. Spry however was also known for using bird cages, junk metal lamps, shells and other unusual containers for her flower arrangements.  Condition: covers creased, rubbed and slightly foxed.  Some scattered foxing to pages, otherwise very good.
