COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
In the period of Louis XIV, large wardrobes, replacing the cabinets of the previous era, were a tour-de-force of bas-relieflow relief, a sculptured relief in which the desighn stands out only a little from the background. and ornamental motifs, in which marquetry dragons and dolphins might play against a background of tortoiseshell and ebony. The lavish taste of the day was perhaps best expressed in these masterpieces of virtuosity.
