About This Item
Paris: Librairies-Imprimeries Réunies, 1913. First edition. Portfolio. Paper pastedown. Cloth spine. Ribbon ties. . Very Good. Folio, 47 by 35 cm. Title leaf, table of contents leaf, followed by 30 color plates. Housed in portfolio, with three ribbon ties. OCLC First Search shows holdings at Met, Getty, Hagley, New York Public and Biblio et Archives Nationales Quebec. Surprisingly, not showing up on Gallica (BNF's catalogue). Furniture is quintessential Art Nouveau pieces, including buffets, bookcases, armoires, tables, commodes, vitrines, etc. etc. All shown in rooms with wallpaper and perhaps idealized settings yet with the focal point the particular piece being showcased. The palette of the plates is generally muted soft colors. Condition: one of the three ribbon ties has one piece detached, but we have the piece still. Cover has moderate soiling, and a smallish amount of abrasion near the center of the front, and minor paper pastedown loss along edge of rear. Some fraying of threads by the joints, and some separation, or starting, in rear. Title page very age toned, with some unevenness to this toning. Light age toning, and minor occasional foxing in the margins of the plates -- most plates without any foxing to speak of.
