Catalogue to accompany the exhibition, "Honore Lannuier, Parisian Cabinetmaker in Federal New York," shown at The Met from March - June 1998. Although his brief but productive career as a cabinetmaker in New York lasted a mere sixteen years, the French-born maitre ebeniste Charles-Honore Lannuier (1779-1819) was a leading figure in the development of a distinctive and highly refined style of furniture in the Late Federal period.
