[FURNITURE / ANTIQUES]
Recueil de Draperies. [Drapery Pattern Book]
One of a series of 7 cahiers issued in Paris by Hallavant, Osmont, and Pinsonniere between 1810 and 1839 with measured drawings of Empire-style draperies for window treatments and beds; many of the bed designs include a plan outlining the proper geometry of the design. This is a widely referenced authentic notebook of designs for practicing designers of the Empire period and is extremely rare.

This unnumbered volume has 52 hand-coloured plates (11" x 8.5"), and the hand-coloured title page tells us that Pinsonnire has by this time succeeded Osmont as editor of these pattern books. Tiny margin tears to title page. The last two unnumbered plates of ornaments each have a margin cut away. Landscape format recently rebound in plain grey paper-covered boards with tan calf spine, new endpapers. This volume is from a group of 7 notebooks issued between about 1810 and 1840 by three publishers about whom little is known other than their surnames, d'Hallavant Osmont (a Parisian upholsterer) and Pinsonniere. This pattern book has engraved designs for beds, canopies, and window drapes - all richly hand-coloured designs reflecting the way styles were rapidly changing over a short period from classicism to romanticism and the revival of eighteenth-century styles.
