I’m not always in the mood for the filigree excesses of the rococo era but this French collection of 200 engravings<\/a> from the reign of the hated Louis XV (1710\u20131774) is a treat. Peter Jessen is the compiler and the publisher is\u00a0Gu\u00e9rinet, the house responsible for\u00a0Friedrich Hottenroth<\/a>‘s book of costume through the ages. The rococo I prefer is often at the weirder end of the scale where animals start crawling out of the foliage, ogees sprout webs and the sweeping flourishes seem to take on a life of their own. Jessen’s selection includes a number of such examples, in addition to designs for furniture and architectural decoration. Ludwig II<\/a> would have eagerly taken this as a guide book.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Elsewhere on { feuilleton } Previously on { feuilleton } I’m not always in the mood for the filigree excesses of the rococo era but this French collection of 200 engravings from the reign of the hated Louis XV (1710\u20131774) is a treat.
