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 \u003ci\u003erocaille\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.","brand":"Musee Des Arts Decoratifs de Bordeaux","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47888392781975,"sku":"9782383140238","price":3553.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9782383140238.webp?v=1781165610","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bronze-and-gold-the-gilt-bronzes-from-the-musee-nissim-de-camondo-9782383140238","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
