Аннотация:
The emergence in recent years from their original homes of many of Galle's deluxe furniture commissions — seemingly lost forever — provides today's connoisseur with the opportunity at last to examine and assess the Nanceien's work in this his third artistic discipline, cabinetmaking. Included for the first time under one cover are all his major works of furniture, both those he designed as unique pieces for an exclusive clientele and those he displayed at two World Expositions and at the annual Paris Salons between 1889 and his untimely death in 1904. Included also in these pages is the encyclopedic range of models created in the Galle workshops both during his lifetime and then well into the 1920s. Presented by furniture category — wardrobes, tables, dressing tables, desks, commodes, consoles, etc. — the seemingly infinite number of different furnishings that bear the Galle imprint overwhelms the reader in their diversity.
