Exposition universelle & internationale de Liège 1905 : section française, classes 95 et 96
An 1908 Paris catalogue from the Comité français des expositions à l'étranger, compiled by Léon-Paul Piel and François Rannaz, documenting the French section of the 1905 Liège international exhibition, classes 95 and 96 for silver, gold and jewellery. The photographs show glass display cases with dark wooden frames, carved and curved Art Nouveau ornament, and velvet-draped trays of jewellery and metalwork, a designer might take their sinuous ironwork-like framing and the arrangement of goods under glass as models for display furniture.
