EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Tour a Guilloche, belonging to Louis XVI. Created in 1780 by I. T. Mercklein Saxon of the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne in Paris, this exquisite work of art is now housed at CNAM, Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers. The Tour a Guilloche is an exceptional example of French craftsmanship from the 18th century. It features intricate metalwork mounted on wood and was primarily used as a special machine for obtaining unique effects in enamelling. Interestingly, lock making was one of Louis XVI's personal hobbies, which adds another layer of significance to this masterpiece. The level of detail and ornamentation displayed on the Tour a Guilloche is truly awe-inspiring. Its decorative elements showcase the expertise and skill possessed by French artisans during that era. The delicate enamel work further enhances its ornate appearance, making it an object fit for royalty. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and opulence associated with Louis XVI's reign. It serves as a reminder not only of his passion for locksmithing but also his appreciation for fine craftsmanship. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate and study this extraordinary artifact today. Let us cherish these glimpses into our rich artistic heritage and marvel at the creativity that has shaped our world throughout history.
