Abraham und David Roentgen und ihre Neuwieder Möbelwerkstatt / Hans Huth.

Huth, Hans, 1892- · 1928 · Berlin : Deutscher Verein für Kunstwissenschaft · 36 pictures

This 1928 German monograph by art historian Hans Huth, published in Berlin by the Deutscher Verein für Kunstwissenschaft, studies the Roentgen father-and-son cabinetmaking workshop at Neuwied and its 18th-century furniture for a scholarly audience. The pictures are sepia photographs of furniture shot against plain backgrounds, showing rococo tables and commodes with ormolu mounts, floral marquetry, and a cylinder desk with painted chinoiserie figures, offering designers period ornament, lacquer-like decorative panels, and curved cabriole legs to study.
