Some works of art belonging to Edward Tuck in Paris
A 1910 London catalogue by J. M. Dent & Sons, published for collectors and the trade, recording works of art owned by the American Edward Tuck in Paris. Its photogravure plates show 18th-century French furniture and decorative pieces, including a settee, an armchair, and designs for painted or tapestry panels with pastoral figures, garlands, and drapery swags. A designer could draw on the rococo ornament, the scrolled carved frames, and the gentle pastoral scenes of courtly leisure.
