From ancient Sumerian pottery to Tiffany stained glass, decorative art has been a fundamental part of the human experience for generations. While fine art is confined to galleries and museums, decorative art is the art of the every day, combining beauty with functionality in objects ranging from the prosaic to the fantastical. In this work, Albert Jacquemart celebrates the beauty and artistic potential behind even the most quotidian object. Readers will walk away from this text with a newfound appreciation for the subtle artistry of the manufactured world.

"The world-renowned collection of European decorative arts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is full of sumptuous surprises ... the objects ... vary in scale from a salt cellar in the shape of a small crustacean to the fine wood paneling of an entire dining room. Their dates of manufacture span more than a thousand years ... Presented here with an introduction to the topic and individual texts on each piece, these diverse works are organized chronologically and by styulistic movements to highlight their hidden histories"--Publisher's description.
