About the Item
The eighteenth century French chair ranks among the most elegant
of furniture forms, admired both for its beauty and for the
essential role it played in French life. Until now one could scarcely
have guessed at the complicated background from which it
evolved, or the amount of highly specialized labor which went into
the manufacture of each chair.
Although there have been a good half dozen books published on
the subject, all but two have been essentially picture books.
Pierre Verlet's volume on menuiserie, and Svend Eriksen's
excellent study of the chairmaker Louis Delanois , both took a close
look at the subject of chairmaking, neither delved deeply into such
important topics as the rigid division of labor according to guild
rules, the techniques of manufacture, or the personalities and family
liasons of the craftsmen involved. This book does all that, and does
it admirably.
