Maison Euler & Bardoux - Exceptionnel Ensemble d'Archives : Dessins originaux, Catalogues & Documents (XIXe/Début XXe) - 1880

This unique documentary collection offers a rare testimony to the know-how and management of a high-end decorative house, Euler & Bardoux. This assemblage consists of authentic pieces illustrating the creative and commercial process of the period.

Contents of the lot:
8 Original study drawings: Executed in pencil on drawing paper, these drawings bear the expert hand of the house's draughtsman. They show precise details of décors, fittings, including a Louis XV console.

4 Professional catalogues: Addressed to the house by subcontractors and specialized suppliers (notably Aubenet, Roussel & Cie). These catalogues (numbers 25 and 39) are true mines of information on the "apartment ornaments", furnishings for upholsterers, as well as the forged iron and copper items of the era.

Administrative documents from the period: Invoices, handwritten notes and professional correspondence that complete this lot and allow documentation of the house's commercial relationships and production costs.

Condition:
The documents bear traces of time and workshop use, which enhances their authenticity and historical character. The drawings are folded or show handling marks inherent to their past use. (Please refer to the photos to assess the precise condition of the pieces).

This collection is a rare opportunity for any decorative arts collector, art historian, or enthusiast of fine technical objects. It offers not only the possession of unique works of art but also insight into the industrial and artisanal organization of a renowned house.
