Although his career as a cabinetmaker in New York lasted a mere sixteen years, the French-born maître ébéniste Charles-Honoré Lannuier (1779–1819) was a leading figure in the development of a distinctive and highly refined furniture style in the Late Federal period. This study of Lannuier's life and work, the most complete to date, accompanied an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The essays discuss Lannuier's family and his origins in France, his life and work in New York (1813–19), his clients, and connoisseurship of his furniture. Provenances and collection and publication history are also provided in a complete catalogue of his known work.

272 pages, 238 illustrations (101 in full color), 9 in. x 12 in. Hardcover; clothbound, with jacket.
