The selection includes richly veneered cabinets, commodes, and desks; carved tables and chairs; and gilt-bronze light fixtures and firedogs that exemplify the superior craftsmanship and elaborate design characteristic of the Baroque style.Each object is described and analysed in terms of its style, use, provenance and published history, as well as its construction and alterations, materials, and conservation. With its meticulous attention to detail, this sumptuous volume presents a comprehensive overview of the characteristics that define French Baroque furniture.
