CHIPPENDALE, Thomas (1718-1779).

Le Guide du tapissier, de l’ébéniste et de tous ceux qui travaillent en meubles…Londres : T. Becket & P. A. de Hondt, 1762.

Beau recueil gravé des œuvres de l’ébéniste Thomas Chippendale. Il s’agit de la première édition en français du Gentleman and Cabinet-maker's Director de Chippendale, basée sur la troisième édition, corrigée et enrichie. L’édition originale, qui date de 1754, ne comprenait que 161 planches, contre 200 ici.

Après une étude des différents ordres architecturaux, on trouve notamment des représentations de bibliothèques, de lits, de canapés, de miroirs, ou encore d’écrans de cheminées.



In-folio (452 x 297 mm). Titre, dédicace gravée (1 p.), préface (2 pp.), 23 pp. de description des planches (A-G^2), et 200 planches gravées d’après Chippendale (déchirure marginale sans perte à la planche n° CXCVII ; rousseurs et brunissures éparses).

Reliure de l'époque : vélin rigide, décor estampé à froid évoquant les reliures du XVIe siècle, titre à l’encre sur le dos, tranches mouchetées (importante mouillure avec traces de moisissure sur le premier plat).

Provenance : baron Guy de Rothschild (ex-libris) – Germaine de Rothschild (ex-libris)
