Description: French furniture, Consulat and Empire, French book French furniture, Consulat and Empire, French book This hardcover book with 288 full color pages and over 400 illustrations presents the French furniture during the Consulat and the Empire period. The author establishes with clarity the list of sponsors and creators (Madame Récamier, Pauline Borghese, l'impératrice Joséphine, le prince Eugène, Percier et Fontaine, etc.) and cabinetmakers (Jacob-Desmalter, Thomire, Lignereux, Marcion, Lemarchand, etc.). A large part of the work is then devoted to the systematic presentation of the different categories of furniture: seats, dressers, tables, desks, etc., and this in particular through a very abundant, renewed and sometimes unprecedented iconography. An additional section detailing current Empire furniture and solid annexes including indexes of names, biographies and inventories make this work the essential tool for any amateur, connoisseur or specialist in the French decorative arts of the early 19th century.
