Veilleuses - A Collectors Guide
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. Veilleuses ? A Collector?s Guide (1988) by Harold Newman ? Cornwall Books Lovingly mishandled and proudly offered by Crappy Old Books ? where the dust is authentic and the corners are always bent. Step into the delicate, porcelain-lit world of veilleuses ?those charming 18th and 19th-century French night lights that managed to be both functional and fabulously unnecessary. In Veilleuses ? A Collector?s Guide , Harold Newman delivers a meticulously researched, visually rich tribute to these bizarre little hybrids of art and utility. Teapots shaped like duchesses? Soup warmers masquerading as pagodas? It?s all here. This 1988 Cornwall Books edition is your ticket to a world where candlelight met rococo excess. Our copy? Slightly warped, possibly once used as a coaster, but still gloriously intact?like the veilleuses themselves. Crappy Old Books ? Illuminating the obscure, one faded volume at a time. Large hardback with dust jacket. Very good condition, a couple of snags to the dust jacket, but quite minor. Includes a compliments slip from Golden Cockerel Press detaiing the book details.

Hardcover. Black paper boards with gold gilt lettering on spine, black and color illustrated dust jacket with red and white lettering, 174 pp., bw illustrations. "This remarkable and comprehensive study by a leading collector of veilleuses is the result of the thirty years' research and extensive travels. The word veilleuse derives from the French veiller, 'to keep a night vigil.' It originally referred to any night lamps, but soon came to be applied to warmers for food and drink intended for bedside use. Although conceived for a utilitarian purpose, the decorative modeling and coloring soon established these pieces as attractive and prized ornaments . In this unique book Harold Newman has gathered together examples of all types of veilleuses, from those made of the finest decorated porcelain to others made of faience, creamware, and glazed pottery - even two of English silverware. The many different styles of design and decoration are fully described, including polychrome enameling, gilding, ornate openwork, low-relief applied figures, and lithophane plaques." - dust jacket description. VG/G+ (books shows minimal signs of wear, all pages clear and intact - dust jacket shows wear at edges with a few small tears mended by scotched tape, still protective). Seller Inventory # 105456
