French eighteenth-century gilt-bronze objects, known as bronzes
d'ameublement, include clocks, fire dogs, mounted Sèvres porcelain,
wall lights, candlesticks and candelabra, and epitomise the levels of
luxury achieved in Parisian interiors. Highly expensive and expertly
wrought, they illustrate the heights of skilled craftsmanship achieved
by French bronze workers as well as showcasing the wealth and
connoisseurship of their owners.
The book draws on exceptionally fine pieces by leading makers from
the Wallace Collection's renowned collection and assesses them
both as works of art and as important elements within Parisian
interiors of the day. In doing so it demonstrates how these works
were directly linked to fashion and the neo-classical movement in
art and were part of a unified aesthetic promoted by the greatest
designers and commissioned by the most influential patrons.
An extended introduction places gilt-bronzes in the context
of French interior design and provides information about their
manufacture. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with new
photographs of highlights from the Wallace Collection making it a
true celebration of the bronze maker's art.
