Bøger om Empirestil

Oversigt over hele spektret af dansk klassicistisk møbelkunst i perioden ca. 1790-1850. Klassicismen behandles i lige så høj grad som udtryk for ideologiske bevægelser som udtryk for et stilistisk fænomen.

This publication addresses an important period in Scandinavian design history when Danish furniture rose to a level that rivalled contemporaneous work in major European capitals and the Americas. In the estimation of many historians, this remarkable body of nineteenth-century work may be considered the foundation for modern Danish furniture in the twentieth century, based on its reliance upon superlative standards of fabrication, superb quality of design and revelation of national aspirations.
