Utilisation des marbres
Auteur(s) : Jacques Dubarry de Lassale
New edition
Used since Antiquity in architecture and sculpture, marble has also been used since Louis XIV for the decoration and ornamentation of cabinetwork.
This book offers an in-depth study of the history of marble and its use over the centuries, for the purposes of appraisal and restoration. Based on a collection of prestigious works, it details the characteristics and uses of almost 150 different types of marble, as well as the decorative stones that are often confused with them. For each type, the author draws on his experience as a master cabinetmaker to offer examples of remarkable pieces, giving pride of place to this exceptional material.
