Since the 16th century, Paris has been a leading arbiter of taste
and the ultimate source of luxury goods for Europe and the world.
However, the origins of the luxury trades of Paris and their role
in the wider economic development of France and Europe have been
relatively little examined by historians. This volume provides an
entry into some of the many questions raised by the growth of the
luxury trades, by bringing together eight detailed case studies of
specific trades with five more wide-ranging and theoretical
contributions. It therefore offers both the results of entirely new
research and a range of new perspectives and methodological
reflections on the subject as a whole. Essential to economic and
social historians of Early Modern France, the book will also be of
interest to all students of material culture.
