18TH-CENTURY SHOPPING

Clock; Circa 1750
Table with five Sevrés porcelain plaques, Louis XVI style.
Louis XVI Japanese black and gold lacquer baluster pot-pourri vase with cover; 1774-1793.

Alongside trade cards, we have a second exhibition "The Marchands Merciers: makers of nothing, sellers of everything" which explores the world of the middle men in the equation, the merchants who commissioned luxury objects for wealthy clients, using the most exotic, expensive materials available.
