picked up a book while in Williamsburg by Henri Algoud, Leon LeClerc and Paul Baneat on French provincial furniture. Some I could replicate and would like to. But I wonder if there are any design books about it. Also I was stuck by their raised panels and al the decoration. (i don't know what you call it:) ) Were most furniture makers carvers too. And it seems like there was a big change in ornamentation from Louis 13 to Louis 15. But I speak from ignorance
 
Slim,

I have seen interesting examples in France but do not know of any useful books. (There must be some!)

Best wishes,
David
