Lévy-Coblentz, Françoise: L'art du meuble en Alsace au siècle des Lumières. Tome 2: De la paix de Ryswick à la Révolution 1698-1789
Saint-Dié: Éditions Le Chardon, 1985.

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. In addition to design and technical aspects, the book also deals in particular with the training and organisation of the carpentry trade in Strasbourg and the region. Numerous illustrations and archival sources make it an indispensable reference work for the study of the furniture trade in the Alsace border region.
