Alison Adburgham, a respected authority on fashion and social history, traces the shop's deep entanglement with the Aesthetic and Arts and Crafts movements, illustrating how Liberty's became a driving force in defining British design, textile arts, and fashion over more than a century. The narrative uncovers the personalities, partnerships, and commercial genius that shaped the store's singular identity — from its signature Art Nouveau fabrics to the iconic Tudor building on Regent Street that stands to this day. Written with authority and elegance, this is an indispensable account for anyone passionate about design history, retail culture, or the social life of Victorian and Edwardian Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956348563675,"sku":"2026100006004-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8a978a45-adeb-45d0-864e-bd2cf4eff655.png?v=1783500030","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006004-secondhand-libertys-a-biography-of-a-shop","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
