The gilded bronze collection of the Mus�e Nissim de Camondo in Paris illustrates Mo�se de Camondo's taste in 18th century furniture, gathering masterpieces from Parisians gilders, draftsmen, sculptors, founders, goldsmiths and watchmakers.

Created in 1936, following the bequest of Count Mo�se de Camondo to the French State in memory of his son Nissim, who died for France in 1917, the Mus�e Nissim de Camondo houses a rich collection of 18th-century art objects. Reflecting the donor's taste for this period of French art, the collection includes a significant number of pieces of furniture and objects embellished with gilded bronze ornaments. Gathered with incredible foresight by Mo�se de Camondo between 1890 and 1935, these gilded bronzes reflect the evolution of styles during the 18th century, from the fantasies of rocaille, the severity of the return to the antique model, to the delicacy of the Louis XVI style. This catalog presents a selection of 30 furniture bronzes, all masterpieces. Signed Osmond, attributed to Jean-Louis Prieur, Fran�ois R�mond or Jean-No�l Turpin, they testify to the expertise of Parisian gilders in the second half of the 18th century, as well as to their collaboration with other trades - draftsmen, sculptors, founders, goldsmiths and watchmakers. The gilded bronzes in the Mus�e Nissim de Camondo offer a highly varied typology, bearing witness to their diverse uses and fully participating in the project of "reconstituting an 18th-century artistic residence" so dear to the Count de Camondo.

Anne Forray-Carlier, senior curator at the Musée du Louvre, Département des Objets d'Art. Sylvie Legrand-Rossi, former senior curator, Musée Nissim de Camondo. Béatrice Quette, curator of asian collections, Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
