Item description from seller

Black cloth with dustwrapper, illustrated in colour. Please note tis book is heavy and will incur extra postage charges. En Europe, de la Renaissance au milieu du XIXe sià cle, la production d'objets nà cessaires à l'homme pour ses actività s dans les domaines scientifiques, professionnels ou artisanaux tout comme dans sa vie domestique et personnelle, à tait dans certains cas exà cutà e avec un soin esthà tique qui les porte au rang d'authentiques objets d'art. Des instruments exceptionnels sont rà alisà s entre le XVIe et le XVIIIe sià cle, en particulier en Allemagne, pour de grands seigneurs qui les rassemblaient dans leurs cabinets de curiosità s. On retrouve un soin semblable dans la rà alisation d'instruments scientifiques et chirurgicaux. Dans le cas des outils du travail artisanal, fonctionnels par dà finition, c'est la qualità esthà tique de l'exà cution qui se concrà tise tant dans le choix des matà riaux que dans les dà cors chargà s de symboles. Dans le cadre de la vie domestique, les objets en fer forgà servant à la prà paration des mets dans l'âtre tà moignent souvent des principaux à và nements familiaux. Entre le XVIIIe et le XIXe sià cle aussi de nombreux objets domestiques sont produits pour le dà lassement ou les soins personnels : des instruments de couture et de broderie aux objets utilisà s pour à crire ou fumer, en passant par les nà cessaires de voyage d'une socià tà française urbaine raffinà e. Aboutissement de plusieurs annà es d'une recherche passionnà e, la collection Nessi nous offre un tà moignage exceptionnel sur toute une production artisanale de trà s haut niveau. Size: Quarto. 363 pages. Text is in French. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos.
