Sèvres Sous Louis Xvi Et La Révolution : Le Premier Apogée

Second edition

In 1769, the Sèvres Manufactory had conquered Europe, but it was not yet producing hard-paste porcelain. It had only just discovered the manufacturing process, which would revolutionise its production methods, its organisation and the range of objects offered. The stakes were high, but the support of Louis XV and then Louis XVI was unwavering, until the Revolution.

This catalogue retraces the epic of the Manufacture under Louis XVI and the Revolution thanks to analyses, interviews and exclusive photographs that bring together the history of a unique institution and images of its sumptuous creations.
