| Object history | From the 'Oeuvre de Juste Aurèle Meissonnier', a volume of engravings after the works of the French designer, architect and goldsmith, Juste Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750). These were issued in three editions between 1742 and 1750. The designs of Meissonnier had previously been published in printed sets or cahiers by Chereau the publisher, and were advertised in the Mercure in March 1734. This plate is from a set - entitled ‘Onziéme livre des oeuvre de Mr. Messonier’ (series letter L) - depicting designs for a candelabra, girandoles, a frame for a toilet-glass and an inkstand. The candelabra depicted in this plate was designed for King Louis XV of France. |
