FOREWORD
FRENCHFURNITURE AND DECORATIVE ARTS CONSTITUTE ONE OF THE
oldest and most extensive collections i n the Getty Museum.
Among J. Paul Getty's primary areas of interest, and one to whi ch he
was wi l l i n g to devote substantial sums of money, the French hol d
ings sti l l reflect the taste and passions of the Museum's founder. They
equally attest to the enthusiasm and expertise of Gi l l i an Wi l son,
who came to the Museum as Curator of Decorative Arts i n 1971
when Mr. Getty was sti l l alive, and who has continued to develop
the French collections, adding numerous key objects, i n the many
years since his death. However, the collections have also evolved to
include areas of concentration unexplored by our founder, namely
Italian ceramics, European glass, Italian furniture, European metal-
work, and Kunstkammer objects that were the pri de of noble and
royal collectors' cabinets i n the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
This expansion of the Museum's decorative arts was due largely
to the efforts of Peter Fusco, now retired, who served as the Cura-
tor of Sculpture and Works of Ar t from 1984 to 2 0 0 0 . Together,
Gi l l i an Wi l son, Peter Fusco, and their staffs have formed one of the
most beautiful and important groupings of European furniture and
decorative arts i n an American museum.
This Summary Catalogue is the second revised edition of the volume
published i n 1986. Between the 1986 publ i cati on and the first
revised edi ti on i n 1993, 115 objects were added to the decorative
arts collection. Since 1993, an additional thi rty-ei ght objects have
been acquired, i ncl udi ng an elaborate bed, exquisite wa l l l i ghts,
important ceramics, and vi vi d examples of i nl ai d hardstone. At
that time, the new Museum at the Getty Center was s t i l l under
construction. Now the decorative arts are displayed i n newl y con-
ceived, well-appointed galleries that demonstrate the ful l scope
and splendor of the collection. Whether they are exhi bi ted i n pan-
eled rooms that convey the ri ch ambience of eighteenth-century
France, or i n paintings galleries where they augment our under-
standing of the art of different periods, the decorative arts form an
integral part of the Museum's mission to del i ght our visitors and
deepen their appreciation of the history of European art.
I owe Gi l l i an Wi l s on and Peter Fusco, whose knowledge and
taste can be detected everywhere i n this catalogue, my admiration
for what they have achieved i n bui l di ng the collection. The staff
members who assisted them i n this accomplishment, Charissa
Bremer-David, Peggy Fogelman, Catherine Hess, and Jeffrey Weaver,
have my gratitude for their outstanding work and for the collabora-
ti on that made this book possible.

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THIS BOOK IS A REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION OF Decorative Arts:
An Illustrated Summary Catalogue of the Collection of the J . Paul Getty Museum,
whi ch was published i n 1993. The first section is arranged by
country of originFranceand then by type of object. The sec
ond section is arranged by medium, fol l owed by country of ori -
gi nother than Franceand date of manufacture. This two-part
organization is adopted to feature the largest part of the Museum's
decorative arts collection i n section one, whi l e provi di ng a refer-
ence framework for easy access to its diverse decorative arts hol d-
ingscomprising works from Ital y Germany England, Bohemia,
Austri a, the Netherlands, Spam, and elsewherein section two.
Acquisitions made since 1993 have been added, the materials
sections have been expanded and amended, and as a result of recent
research some dates of manufacture, countries of origin, names of
and previous owners have been revised. The bi bl i ography for each
object has been brought up to date, and t wo indexes are provided.
The first lists the makers and their life dates; the second, previous
owners. A glossary of woods has been added, and a concordance
between accession numbers and entry numbers.
It is hoped that this new edi ti on w i l l serve as an i nteri m
survey of the Decorative Arts Collection, pending the publication
of remaining departmental catalogues. Detai l ed catalogues
devoted to the collections of glass, maiolica, clocks, tapestries, and
textiles, and Vmcennes, Sevres, and mounted oriental porcelain
have been produced.
The summary catalogue is based on files created by Gi l l i an
Wi l son, Curator of Decorative Arts, and Peter Fusco, former
Curator of European Sculpture and Works of Art , and by Charissa
Bremer-David and Catherine Hess, Associate Curators. This
book is largely the effort of Gi l l i an Wi l son, Catherine Hess, and
Charissa Bremer-David.
Many others i n the Museum have contri buted: Jeffrey
Weaver, Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts, contri buted infor-
mation regarding marks, bibliography, and exhi bi ti on history. Joe
Godl a, former Associate Conservator of Decorative Arts, aided
i n the identification of woods, using i n part the work of R. Bruce
Hoadley. Departmental interns Lisa Bingham and James Peck com-
posed new entries, checked photography, and assisted i n the com-
pi l ati on of the expanded bibliographies. Head Photographer Jack
Ross was responsible for the photography. Dana Gorbea-Leon and
El l en South, staff assistants, entered the new entries, amendments,
and additions to the provenances and bibliographies.

Notes to the Reader: In the provenance sections, the lack of a
semicolon before a sale i n parentheses indicates that the object
was sold from the collection of that person, dealer, or gallery;
dealers are set off by brackets. The names of Rothschi l d family
members enclosed i n parentheses are those names given at bi rth
but not used by the i ndi vi dual . We have provided all the names
to help distinguish one Rothschild from another, because multiple
cousins and generations share the same appellations.
