Meubles et objets de goût is a Paris furniture plate book issued in 1802 by the Bureau du Journal des dames, aimed at fashionable readers and craftsmen interested in the newest Empire-style interiors. Its hand-coloured plates show French beds with canopies of draped white muslin, lace, blue silk, and gilt fittings set against warm mahogany frames, offering designers a clear model of Directoire and Empire drapery arrangements, ornamental tassels, and classical details.
