The first and still authoritative monograph on Bernard Molitor (1755-1833), one of the last royal ebenists of the Ancien Régime. The work traces Molitor's oeuvre from the late rococo period through the revolutionary years to the Empire and documents his development from a Luxembourg journeyman to a sought-after cabinetmaker at the French court. In addition to stylistic analysis, the focus is on workshop practice, clients and the use of wood. With a well-founded source apparatus, a detailed overview of his work and numerous colour illustrations, this is an indispensable standard work on French furniture art around 1800.
