A rare hand-colored engraving from the collection of “Meubles et Objets de Goût” edited by Pierre de La Mésangère in Paris between 1796-1831.

(A series of 709 designs published by “Au Bureau du Journal des Dames et des Modes” depicting French furniture, carriages, draperies, decorative objects, jewelry, etc.)

Marked “No. 278” this design features a “Toilette.”

In researching this design/collection, I have found helpful and truly insightful information from The Metropolitan Museum of Art (see below) and the New York Public Library to name just a few…

Keep in mind, this item is over 200 years old. If interested, I also have three others: Nos. 145, 278, 336.
