LATE 19TH CENTURY

Daniel Marot (1661-1752) was a French-born architect and designer who worked mainly in England and Holland; Daniel Marot published many influential designs for furniture, decorative objects, and interiors. His many engravings provide an excellent record of contemporary fashions in interior design, including designs for carriages, clocks, paneling, beds, and embroidery. Trained by his father, he worked independently as an engraver by the age of sixteen, making engravings of designs by Jean Birain, Louis XIV's official designer.
