A hard back book written by one of the great experts on 20th century decorative arts.

Throughout his career he won numerous awards and worked on many significant commissions for the French Government, in particular a jewel cabinet which was a gift to the Queen Elizabeth of England in 1950 when she was still Princess Elizabeth. 399 pages illustrated throughout in color and black and white.
