The furniture commissioned by the French royal family in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is comprised of the finest examples in the world's greatest period of cabinetmaking. It also affords exceptional knowledge of the decorative arts of that epoch, not only because of the quality of surviving pieces, but also because of the abundant and precise documentary evidence.
