Bellangé Ébénistes Une Histoire Du Goût Au Xixe

From the Empire to the Monarchie de Juillet, the Bellangé family took part in the evolution of Decorative Arts in the first half of the 19th century. Sylvain Cordier, a well known specialist, gives us a glimpse of the life and work of two generations of cabinetworkers. He also explains the major influence of politics on their work. He writes about the furniture they made for the for White House and doesn't forget to talk about their rich private custumers.
The author writes a catalogue raisonné on every four cabinetworkers and delivers a cultural and sociological study of this mid century.
