An historical guide to French interiors, furniture, decoration, woodwork, & allied arts during the last half of the seventeenth century, the whole of the eighteenth century, and the earlier part of the nineteenth
Thomas Arthur Strange compiled this reference survey of French interiors, furniture, woodwork and ornament from Louis XIV to the Empire, published in London and New York in 1900 for cabinetmakers, decorators and architects. The plates are dense line engravings of painted ceiling compartments, carved panel frames, cartouches, trophies and scrolling foliage, offering ready-made borders, corner fills and rococo frame elements.
