Luxury After the Terror: Human rights courage and kindness allow lifeWhen Louis XVI was guillotined on January 21, 1793, vast networks of production that had provided splendor and sophistication to the royal court were severed. Although the king's royal possessions from drapery and tableware to clocks and furniture suites were scattered and destroyed, many of the artists who made them found ways to survive. This book explores the fabrication, circulation, and survival of French luxury after the death of the king.
