The harbor furniture made in La Rochelle, under the Ancien-Régime, is appreciated today for its elegance.

Mostly made from exotic American species: mahogany, yellow wood from Santo Domingo, amourette, guaiac...

An analysis of the conditions of production including the role of the Rochelais carpenter community is present. To this study is added a catalog of characteristic types and forms. This monograph is based both on extensive archival documentation and on daily observation of these pieces of furniture.
