  8. I have a beautiful set of one of the 500 special reproductions made in 1976 for sale if someone wants it. See Benchcraft’s offering of it a bit back. Original size (huge!) but not 237 yrs. old. They are something else.

  9. What year were those volumes published? Beautiful books, aside from the content.

  11. CAN WE GET A TRANSLATION OF THE VOLUME BY ROUBO? OH YES PLEASE. I WANT TO READ IT. I DO READ FRENCH BUT WELL 500 + pages of 18th century French might be a bit tedious. I KNOW THE MARQUETRY ONE MIGHT BE PUBLISHED BUT WHY CAN’T WE HAVE THOSE WORKS OF HIS ALL PUBLISHED AGAIN AND TRANSLATED. SOON.

  12. I’ve just returned from Paris and the musee des arts decoratifs. there we saw a table displayed with just the pattern shown in photo 2. Formidable!

  14. OMG, that’s so beautiful! Just as a side note, the gangbangers will be disappointed that wearing one’s hat sideways isn’t a new and different fad! They’ll be so crushed! 🙂

    Thanks for sharing Chris!

  16. I think the LAP version should stick with the same paper stock and be leather bound. Wasn’t one of Nuttig’s rules “if it ain’t broke, don’t rely on a dust jacket”?

  17. The more images I see of early French totes the more I wonder if they weren’t made of a cast or forged metal. Have any of these survived?
