Meubles et objets de goût

1802 · [Paris : Au Bureau du Journal des dames] · 27 pictures

Meubles et objets de goût is a French furniture pattern book published in Paris around 1802 by the Bureau du Journal des dames, aimed at cabinetmakers and upholsterers working in the Empire style. Its plates show chairs and armchairs in carved wood with upholstered seats and backs, drawn in colour against plain backgrounds, so a designer can study the silhouettes of Empire seating and the fabric choices of green velvet, blue, red and striped textiles.
