[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"The Wrightsman Collection. Vol. 1- Furniture [&] Volume 2- Furniture, 
Gilt Bronzes, Carpets"

By F.J.B. Watson.
Published in New York by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1966.

The first two volumes (of an eventual five) of the catalog of the 
Wrightsman Collection, one of the foremost collections of French 18th 
century decorative and fine arts in America. This set is complete in 
itself; later volumes covered such topics as porcelains and paintings. 
These two volumes contain pictures and descriptions of some 500 pieces 
with physical description, attribution, provenance, and bibliographical 
citations for each piece. There are also photographs of craftsmen's 
marks, an appendix on the Savonnerie manufactory, biographies of 
craftsmen, and a glossary of French technical terms.

2 volumes. Hardcovers. 10"x11.5", 671 pages, 332 illustrations, 
including 35 color plates, dust jackets. Minor soil and light wear, but 
a very nice set in somewhat worn dust jackets with some corner chips, 
wear, etc. $150
