An attractively illustrated overview of French furniture from the second half of the 19th century, from the Second Empire to the threshold of Art Nouveau. The volume analyses the diverse historical stylistic references, the luxurious furnishings of the palaces and the expansion of production through industrial manufacturing. The role of the Expositions Universelles and the position of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine as a centre of furniture production are also discussed. Numerous illustrations document furniture art between historicism and early modernism.
