They are a truly fascinating
record of industrial and commercial processes towards the end of the 18th
century & the machinery and equipment used, in this case to make ladies'
necklaces. Some were made from bone, as is depicted by picture #1. Women
are shown weaving the string on which the highly finished ornaments were to be
strung.
*The artists were under the direction of Monsieur Benard
Regretfully I have been unable to translate some of the technical
terms into English, despite the assistance of on-line French-English translation
services !
These are genuine original
