Using The Craftsmen And Skills Originally Brought Into France From Italy And The Low Countries To Serve The Sun King, French Aristocrats And Financiers Created In Their Paris Hotels And Country Chateaux Interiors Of An Unprecedented Elegance And Sophistication. The Same Can Be Said Of The Works Of Art That Completed These Rooms Furniture Decorated With Marquetry Or Lacquer, Giltbronzes, Silver, The Finest Porcelain, Of Which None Was Finer Than Sevres, Tapestries And Carpets From The Savonnerie, The Gobelins, Beauvais And Aubusson, And Beautiful Silks And Upholstery.This Book Discusses In Detail The Creation And Contents Of Many Such Interiors, Including Some That Have Never Been Photographed Before.
