This lavishly-illustrated book is a survey of the Getty Museum's
seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French textiles--one of the world's
finest collections. Featuring twenty-five extraordinary tapestries woven
at the Gobelins and Beauvais manufacturies, the catalogue also
highlights three carpets, two knotted-pile screens, and two sets of
embroidered bed hangings, one of which is the only complete lit á la duchesse
surviving from the period. Each entry includes complete historical and
physical information on the piece and an accompanying commentary
provides information on the literary, historical, and visual source of
design imagery as well as the context of each textile's commission and
production.
For lovers of French decorative arts and connoisseurs of textiles, this beautiful book is must reading.
