"A sumptuous catalogue which is a pleasure to read and a mine of
all sorts of information."--Aileen Dawson "The Art Newspaper"
"A monumental three-volume work that scholars, collectors, and
amateurs of Vincennes/S�vres porcelain have been anticipating
eagerly for such a long time and the likes of which will probably
never be seen again. . . . The superbly detailed photographs
replicate the experience that only a very few curators or
collectors are privileged to experience."--Selma Schwartz "Apollo
Magazine" (3/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
"No other S�vres catalogue could match this one, not just because
the size and scope of the Royal Collection has been unbeaten for
180 years, nor because the sheer beauty of the publication is
unsurpassed, but because it brings together the expertise of a
lifetime. At a moment when some see the eighteenth century as an
endangered area of study (and this is never more true than of the
decorative arts of the period), and when object-based research
needs to fight for its place among all the other activities in
museums today, it is wonderful to see the Royal Collection
investing in and valuing scholarship at this high level."--Rosalind
Savill "The Burlington Magazine" (7/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
