About the book >.>.> The subject is vast and recent. Eighteenth- century French gilded bronzes known as fur- nishing or ormolu bronzes are increasingly pri- zed and sought after. No general survey on this topic exists and published sources are scarce. A few articles three or four monographs picture collections a dictionary on bronze- smiths covering letters A-C – all more or less outdated-such was the situation. A handbook was needed: here it is. Eagerly awaited for many years this work is the fruit of long reflection on the subject bac- ked by painstaking research firsthand expe- rience in the field and a unique collection of unpublished material most of which is listed in the indexes. The author for thirty years has occupied the post of curator of the objets d’art department at the Louvre whose rich collec- tions he has enhanced while also contributing to their understanding. His studies at the presti- gious Ecole des Chartes along with his daily contact with works of art have enabled him to combine expert scholarship with an artlover’s flair. His previous research on the eighteenth- century decorative arts in Paris and Versailles has produced volumes on French furniture the roval collections the ch?teau of Versailles the S?vres porcelain factory and the Savonnerie carpet factory volumes considered authorita- tive by collectors historians and international deaters. The present handbook belongs in the same company. (OS)
