BOOK - Silver Tables

The tables presented in this book showcase some of the most beautiful, rarest and most prestigious solid silver objects in the history of French art over the last three hundred years. Each one immerses us in a unique atmosphere: a dinner during the reign of Louis XVI or a dinner during the Second Empire, a tête-à-tête in the 1930s, a cocktail evening in town or a tea break accompanied by mignardises.Far from being frozen in time, these exceptional tables are alive. They are moments of reception and sharing where every detail counts and where we understand better, in front of the splendor of the goldwork pieces, the complexity and beauty of an art of receiving so typically French.
