L’Armoire au char d'Apollon par André-Charles Boulle, provenant de la collection de M. Hubert de Givenchy

The first catalogue edited by Alexis and Nicolas Kugel was devoted to a single piece of furniture, the legendary armoire au char d’Apollon by the celebrated cabinet maker André-Charles Boulle, arguably one of the great masterpieces of French furniture still in private hands. It had been the first purchase of the young Hubert de Givenchy and set the standard for the expansion of his great art collection. This catalogue is a deep dive into the history of this extraordinary artwork.

Illustrated in colour and containing a catalogue raisonné of the monumental armoires attributed to André-Charles Boulle.
