The influential rooms of Elkins, Taylor, Dickinson, and other great talents—as photographed by Fred Lyon—represent the innovation and splendor of postwar Northern California interiors, which continue to inspire the work of designers today.

From the 1940s to the 1980s, some of the best resi-dences in Northern California were decorated by a coterie of designers whose names were once recognized only by the cognoscenti of interior design. From Frances Elkins and Tony Hail, with their aristocratic aesthetics, to Michael Taylor and John Dickinson, with their bold fantasies, these designers created revolutionary settings that were idiomatic of their time and place—fresh, luxurious spaces complementing the various terrains and lifestyles of the northern part of the state.
 
Fred Lyon (b. 1924) is perhaps the only photographer who knew and documented the work of this talented group. Akin to what Julius Shulman was doing in Southern California, Lyon worked closely with the designers and magazine editors to help shape the look for posterity. In the years following the work of these giants, most of the spaces they created are gone or vastly changed, replaced by different tastes and new styles. Now re-appreciated for their artistry, we can relive this exciting era through Lyon’s superb photography.

Great for aggressive chewers, but small mess
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
He took it right away! It’s a great size. We’ll see how it holds up ONE MONTH UPDATE: (photo included) He loves it still! Still a bit messy but holding up great and he’s a aggressive chewer 1 WEEK UPDATE (photo update included) The bone is great. He loves it and it’s been holding up great. Our 8 month puppy is a super chewer and 60 lbs. the bone has signs of wear but nothing crazy. I went from 5 stars to 4 stars because whenever he chews the bone, the small tiny pieces of bone/wood go everywhere and they’re sticky/hard and make kind of a mess. But still would get this bone again and highly recommend

Made for aggressive chewers
Size: Small (Pack of 1)
My aggressive chewers are obsessed. This is one of the only chew toys that actually lasts for them. Always have to buy 2 so they each have their own
