Considered for a long time by art historians and theorists as "minor" or "mechanical", decorative arts gained their measures of nobility in the last decades.
This impressive volume illustrated with 600 commentated works - masterworks from great museums and hidden pieces from private collections - offers a chronological synthesis of decorative arts in Europe, from Renaissance to the dawn of the Second World War. It studies trade and circulation of objects, artists and craftsmen; material and techniques; uses and functions; the evolution of shapes and taste; the role of collectors and dealers.
