Design for a sofa and night table: Plate 115 of Collection de meubles et objets de goût, 1802
Pierre de La Mésangère (French, 1761?1831)
Paris
Colored engraving
La Mésangère's serially published Collection de meubles et objets de goût a Paris magazine premiered in 1802 and provided a significant outlet for the dissemination of French fashion in the early nineteenth century. The journal contains illustrations of luxury items that would have been found in the hôtels of the wealthy Parisian bourgeoisie, including the latest wares of accomplished ébénistes. As can be seen by comparing this image to the Winterthur Museum's labeled pier table (1961.1693),New York cabinetmakers Duncan Phyfe & Charles Honore Lannuier appears to have turned to La Mésangère for inspiration. The New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a big collection of these engravings. Size 14" x 19" 1/2.
