A fundamental work on Alsatian furniture art of the 18th century. The author documents the stylistic peculiarities between French and German-speaking workshop traditions with scholarly care.

Numerous illustrations and archival sources make it an indispensable reference work for the study of the furniture trade in the Alsace border region.
