Catalogue des objets d'art de Haute Curiosite et d'ameublement : composant l'importante collection de M. CH. Stein
A Paris auction catalogue of 1886 from the Galerie Georges Petit, listing the decorative art and furnishings of the collection of Charles Stein for prospective buyers and collectors. The plates are black-and-white photographic reproductions of carved panels, ewers, dishes and a clock garniture, showing dense relief ornament, scrolling handles and classical swags a designer could draw on for historicist decoration. Several images are printed sideways, so rotate them before judging the forms.
