Archambaut del. both with notes of measurements and pattern or stock numbers the second with specifications of colors and material. No. 93 a bed apparently unfinished. Foxing and soiling to first and last leaves occasional light foxing elsewhere marginal soiling especially to first few leaves fol. 104 detached two drawings on fols. 15 and 25 with small abraded areas 5 other drawings with tiny abrasions or white flecks the rest of the drawings in fine condition. The drawings on guards bound in half shagreen and pebble-grained cloth rubbed spine gilt lettered “Album Meubles Fantaisies.â€<br /> <br /> A spectacular manuscript album of watercolor designs of colorfully decorated painted and inlaid furniture in Louis XV Louis XVI and Second Empire styles by a female artist and furniture designer.<br /> <br /> Depicted are commodes large and small tables desks cabinets wardrobes sideboards dressers armchairs mirrored stands stands holding manicure sets multi-drawered sécrétaires beds clocks and even bellows and brooms for the chimney. Most are highly ornate and include colorful painted or inlaid decoration meticulously rendered often in minute detail by the artist-designer. With their cabriole legs serpentine curves and lavish inlay and marquetry these delightful creations express to a sometimes impractical degree the late 19th-century vogue for Louis XV and Louis XVI-style furniture. <br /> <br /> The artist can be identified as Aline Anne Archambault née Carrausse 1847-1908 thanks to the one signed drawing  loosely inserted which matches stylistically those of the album. The only child of the Paris furniture designer Jean Marie Carrausse Archambault moved in artistic and artisanal circles: in 1877 she married Arthur Eugène Archambaut a graveur ciseleur or engraver of luxury metalwork; the four witnesses at their marriage were his uncle a sculptor; his cousin a printer; and two friends identified respectively as a printer and a furniture maker this information from Geneanet.org. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds six furniture drawings by her also signed with her first initial and last name and a few lithographs after her one of the drawings V&A accession number E.284-1952 has an additional printed signature “P. Levant Carrausse del.†clearly a member of her family. Since Aline was married and died in the 4th arrondissement in Paris it is likely that this album was created there. <br /> <br /> The title on the binding “Album of Furniture Fantasies†implies that at least some of the pieces were not intended to be built: they abound in bright colors and witty details such as the tree-branches wrapping around two basket stands fol. 17 or the wildly ornate bed with which the album ends. While the element of fantasy in these accomplished paintings is thus clear many probably did function as specimens of furniture that could be ordered from members of the artist’s entourage of furniture makers. This is evident from the two inserted drawings both of chests of drawers which have measurement notes and stock numbers. One has the inkstamped name “G. Cauvet†on the verso.<br /> <br /> The archival records indicate that Aline lost a daughter in infancy in 1877 when she was 30. She had no other children. The ebullient drawings in this album betray no hint of tragedy and it is tempting to view them as a work of youth before shadows arrived to dim the joy of creation.<br /> <br /> “The best known of the nineteenth-century revivals was that for Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture. The Louis XV revival intensified during the Second Empire when it departed so much from the 18th-c. prototype that it is best called `Rococo’.†H. Osborne ed.
