This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Furniture of the Louis XV and Louis XVI Periods, Including Important Signed Cabinetwork and Two Aubusson Tapestry Suites: Queen Anne and Georgian Silver, K'ang-Hsi and Ch'ien-Lung Porcelains, Including Examples From the Morgan Collection; Diamond Jewelry The French furniture of the Shattuck collection is notable for the un usual number of signed pieces by the Parisian moi/res obénisles. These range from the simple and elegant Louis XVI side chairs by Leclerc to the richly carved and parcel-gilded fauleuils signed by J. B. Gourdin and cov ered in Aubusson. Tapestry of the period; the former conjuring up the com fortable bourgeois interiors of Chardin, the latter, the luxurious court paint ings of Boucher and Fragonard. This dichotomy, if carried further, shows in consistent fashion the versatility of the French cabinetmakers, who catered with equal faith fulness to the purses of the boutiquier and the prince of the blood. Notice for example the plain little table a rognon by Saunier, the Simple transitional Louis xvi-directoire library table signed by Ferdinand Bury, and the pair of Louis XVI fauteuils by Claude Sene pore; and on the other hand, the profusion of marbles de luxe like the beautiful bmzlwzzr da jour from the Duveen collection, the two semicircular com modes by Courtois and Lignereux, and the charming little harewood marqm'leric writing table by Charles Topino, the harassed debtor of the rue du Faubourg saint-antoine. The repertory of the individual master was unfettered by a price-range system. And if this be so, the only con elusion possible is that guild-tradition was strong enough in eighteenth century France to impose upon the craftsman an unswerving fidelity to his art, whether the reward were large or small.

Download or read book French Furniture of the Eighteenth Century written by Pierre Verlet and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Pierre Verlet, conservateur en chef du Departement des Objets d'Art at the Louvre, was the unquestioned expert on pre-Revolutionary French decorative arts. His definitive book French Furniture of the 18th Century (Les Meubles Francais du XVIIIe Siecle) has now been translated into English for the first time by Penelope Hunter-Stiebel, noted specialist in 18th century French furniture and former student of Verlet. The book contains a vast amount of information on the art of furniture in 18th century France. It examines the tools and techniques used in furniture making during that period; defines the various types of furniture developed; explores the organisation of the furniture industry, the working of the guilds and the relationships among makers, dealers, and clients; lists the outstanding makers and reproduces their marks; and discusses the market, restoration, forgeries, and the growth of public collections. Since the book was first published in 1955, previously unknown pieces of furniture have been discovered, and new documents and analyses have been taken into account in this augmented text.The book is enhanced by 16 pages of full colour and 174 black-and-white illustrations. The illustrations range broadly to allow for the juxtaposition of elegant and simple furniture and to include a variety of types, forms and decorations. This book is a valuable research tool for all curators, collectors, dealers, and art historians.
Download or read book French Furniture Under Louis XV Classic Reprint written by Roger De Felice and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Furniture Under Louis XV Many people are inclined to see in the Louis XV Style only a very sumptuous and profusely ornamented elegance more in keeping with the pleasures of roues than with the simple family life of sober business folks like the majority of us. True, it is the perfect expression of a frivolous and voluptuous period marked by a passion for pleasure - all pleasure, from the most delicate intellectual and social delights to unalloyed debauchery - a period in which moderation was by no means a ruling virtue. No seat could be more suggestive of love and idleness than a sofa of 1750, nor could any furniture display more florid magnificence than some of the commodes Charles Cressent loaded with ormolu decoration, or some of Philippe Caffieri's elaborate bureaux. In fact, we may sum the matter up by admitting that such works, in spite of the incomparable beauty of the chasing, evoke a financier rolling in wealth rather than a gentleman of noble race. If we consider form alone, we may think the inexhaustible caprices of Rococo wearisome, and its horror of straight lines and symmetry exaggerated. We may legitimately dislike its perpetual convexities and undulations, which sometimes degenerate into very disagreeable excrescences.
