"Muse, magician, patron, merchant, maker of myths ― all these terms have been used to describe Madeleine Castaing, whose style continues to bewitch and hypnotize. Reader, dreamer, traveller, second-hand dealer and ― although she found the activity inherent in this term in bad taste ― decorator. During her almost century-long life, she took on all these roles with passion. Thus begins Emily Evans Eerdmans' detailed and fascinating study of the incomparable Madeleine Castaing. While modernism was in full swing in the early and mid-twentieth century, French antique dealer and decorator Madeleine Castaing created her own style, a unique blend of neoclassicism, Proustian romanticism, and pure French spirit. His aesthetic vision has inspired the masters of taste on both sides of the Atlantic and his followers are legion today as in the past. This book, the result of a research carried out with competence ― the first of its kind ― explores all facets of the life and work of Madeleine Castaing. After presenting her childhood and her life as a schoolgirl in a convent near Chartres, the author looks back on the years in this epicenter of Parisian artistic life that was then Montparnasse as lived by Madeleine Castaing, who discovered there in the company of her beloved Marcellin the taciturn artist Chaïm Soutine and a number of masters of modern art. After a few impetuous years spent in Paris, the Castaings retired to their country house, Lèves, which she made into what can be considered her masterpiece, a veritable laboratory where her style took shape and where her unparalleled vision blossomed. All the elements of the Castaing style ― leopard carpet, opaline blue, "coolie" lampshades as well as an eclectic mix of neoclassical furniture (ranging from Regency to Napoleon III) ― were put to use in this romantic house. During the Occupation, Madeleine Castaing boldly transformed her decorative stylizations into a profession in its own right. After the war, she opened her legendary boutique on rue Jacob in Paris, which was frequented by a conquered and loyal clientele. Always curious and tirelessly striving to create living environments that reflected the magic of her eccentric aesthetic, she worked until she was eighty years old. When she died in 1992 at the age of 98, she left a legacy that is still unmatched. In addition to more than 250 illustrations, this book contains an appendix devoted to her favorite fabrics and rugs, both made by others and produced by her.

Good socks they work.
Size: 2 pairs black L
I normally wear size 13&half to 14 men's, and these fit me ok. They sit just below the ankle. They can get a little tight for me so you should look out for that if you are on the thicker side. But they work as advertised and help moisturize your feet. I recommend wearing them if you're going to just be hanging around home for a bit in one spot as they can be a little slippery to walk in if you go fast. Would not recommend going up and down stairs.

REALLY unsafe to walk around in these
Size: 2 pairs black L
They do what they are expected to do, but should only be used if you are stationary. The gel base makes for very unstable footing if walking around

These work
Size: 2 pairs black L
My husband loves these they help his very dry feet. As others have stated they are extremely difficult to walk in so have to be careful but they do work nicely.

Potential Fall Risk
Size: 2 pairs black L
While these socks do indeed help soften rough skin on your feet, there is a risk of falling while wearing them. Although they have treads on the bottom, which would indicate they’re safe to wear with nothing else, when you put moisturizer on and then wear them your foot can slip inside the sock . This causes you to lose your balance and fall, which happened to me. I’ve thrown them out.
