Authentic French Provincial Furniture from Provence, Normandy and Brittany

Important examples of French provincial furniture in museums and private collections in France. Most are of grand scale: draped poster beds, armoires, secretaries, buffets, credenzas and commodes. But chairs, tables, clocks and other accessories are depicted as well, often in typical room arrangements. Most are shown on full-page plates, so that the rich detailing of the carving can be seen clearly. A must for collectors, scholars, decorators and enthusiasts of French provincial furniture.Algoud, Henri is the author of 'Authentic French Provincial Furniture from Provence, Normandy and Brittany' with ISBN 9780486275352 and ISBN 0486275353.
