Not on view

Throughout his career, the French sculptor and cabinetmaker Gilles Paul Cauvet made designs for both monumental architecture and small, finely crafted objects. Many such ideas have been preserved in drawings. In addition, towards the end of his life a collection of his designs was published under the title Recueil d’ornemens à l’usage des jeunes artistes (Collection of ornament designs for use by young artists).
