About the author

Candace Wheeler

1827–1923

A pioneer of American interior and textile design, she helped turn decorating into a serious profession and opened new paths for women in the applied arts. Her work blended business sense, social purpose, and a belief that American homes could be both beautiful and distinctly their own.
