Issued in marble red and black slip case. Text in French. "Bruno Pons gradually became convinced of a fundamental truth, which is that the decor of the rooms is only an empty frame if we disregard the furnishings that were intended, from the beginning, has to fill it. From then on, the science of furniture, developed with such clairvoyance by Pierre Verlet, was called upon to enrich this new story of the living environment, and to give it its truth and its warmth. The notion of the whole took on a whole new and blinding reality. The present work is precisely intended to make us aware of the reality of these sets, of their initial quality, of their reason for being, of their social vocation, even if the reader is called upon to constrain his imagination to go beyond appearance. often fictitious Period rooms, go beyond the easy art of reconstitution in style to find the true arrangement of these paneling, these fireplaces, these pieces of furniture and recognize the needs and pleasures that gave birth to it."-dust jacke translated.
