18805134Paris: NP C1880. An attractive photograph of three pieces of Rococo furniture. Numbered by hand #385 N.D. There is no indication what this means it could be a furniture seller's reference or a photo library archive. We suspect the former the temptation to assume that N.D. is no date should be resisted as in French this would be S.D. The photograph has some light creasing and marking to it. The furniture set in the image is in the French Louis XV Rococo style characterized by its ornate carvings cabriole legs and shell motifs all hallmarks of mid-18th-century French decorative arts. 24cm x 29cm. .

Il n'y a pas d'indication sur ce que cela signifie il pourrait s'agir d'une référence d'un vendeur de meubles ou d'une archive d'une photothèque. Nous pensons qu'il s'agit de la première hypothèse il faut résister à la tentation de supposer que N.D. est sans date car en français il s'agirait de S.D. La photographie présente quelques plis et marques légères. L'ensemble de meubles figurant sur l'image est de style Louis XV rococo caractérisé par des sculptures ornementales des pieds cabriole et des motifs de coquilles autant de caractéristiques des arts décoratifs français du milieu du XVIIIe siècle. 24cm x 29cm.
