Le style Louis XVI : ouvrage orne de 160 gravures environ

Emile-Bayard, Jean, 1893- · 1900 · Paris : Garnier Freres · 168 pictures

A survey of Louis XVI decorative style by Jean Émile-Bayard, published in Paris by Garnier Frères around 1900 for collectors, antiquaires and decorators, with roughly 160 plates. The halftone photographs isolate single objects against plain grounds — mantel clocks, fluted armchairs, candlesticks — plus dim interior views, offering silhouettes of neoclassical furniture profiles, turned and fluted legs, and small ornament motifs.
