Paris: Massin
ISBN 978-2-7072-0263-5

A richly illustrated work on French cabinetmaking from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Both the creative and technical aspects of the craft are explained in detail - from joining techniques, veneer and marquetry work to gilding and the art of lacquering. The focus is on the work process: from the design to the finished piece of furniture. Particularly instructive for restorers, furniture makers and anyone interested in the technical components of historical furniture.
