A well-illustrated printerâ€™s specimen book issued to depict the varieties of Second Empire French furniture featuring styles such as Louis XV Louis XVI and the decorative styles of Napoleon IIIâ€™s designers. Victor Joseph Quetin 1822-1877 was an entrepreneurial printer who began producing these Furniture style books for Parisian craftsmen cabinetmakers and would sell these volumes of specimen sheets to manufacturers to show their prospective clients. The furnishings shown in these leaves encompass tables chairs toilettes some with bidets built in many with attached mirrors bed frames armoires buffets desks and desks with built-in bookcases. The index which is often missing provides an excellent quick reference to the styles types of furnishings as well as the specific plate. Demand increased as Paris & France underwent tremendous renovations and progress during the Second Empire and many of the furnishings inspired by the designs of Carlin Weisweiler and Riesener were presented to the public at the 1867 Exposition Universelle.
