A magnificent book dedicated to Parisian furniture from the Second Empire to the Belle Époque. Under the Empire and throughout the 19th century, Paris gradually became the capital of design and furniture once again. French creations, sought after by amateurs and collectors, supported by imperial or royal commissions, quickly became synonymous with French luxury and refinement. Drawing inspiration from different periods of history and relying on new techniques and materials, manufacturers created a whole new strand of French furniture up to the Belle Époque, before sinking into relative oblivion, disdained by the modernists. This book aims to restore them to their rightful place in the history of furniture and the decorative arts.
