Edited by Fabienne Fravalo. <\/em>Essays by Fabienne Fravalo, Caroline Heering, Sophie Mouquin <\/em><\/p>\n

Following a first volume devoted to secular and sacred objects and sculptures from the twelfth to the eighteenth centuries, this second catalogue in the decorative arts collection of the Fondation Gandur pour l\u2019Art focuses specifically on the art of living. Furniture, caskets, boxes, clocks, lamps, turned ivories and gold and silver cups from the dawn of the Renaissance to the end of the Age of Enlightenment provide a panoply of strictly decorative European creativeness.<\/p>\n

Edited by Fabienne Fravalo, curator of the decorative arts collection at the Fondation Gandur pour l\u2019Art, this catalogue is introduced by two essays, written respectively by Sophie Mouquin, lecturer at the University of Lille, and Caroline Heering, professor at the Catholic University of Leuven. It presents the major objects in the collection, studied and analysed by curators and scholars working in German, American, English, Belgian, French and Swiss institutions.<\/p>\n
