    "Of all the important collections of furniture exhibited in Paris or Versailles, in New York or other capital cities, that the Louvre is indisputably the richest and the most admired. Since inheriting the French royal collections, it has been enriched regularly with objects commensurate with the prestige of its origins, in accordance with a very selective acquisitions policy."

    "Parmi les grandes collections de mobilier exposées à Paris, à Versailles, à New York et dans d'autres capitales, celle du Louvre est sans conteste la plus riche et la plus admirée. Héritière des collections royales, elle a été constamment enrichie par une politique d'acquisition très sélective d'objets compatibles avec son origine prestigieuse. La publication de cette collection a nécessité la contribution d'historiens d'art et d'une iconographie abondante de très haute qualité. L'ouvrage a été conçu -et rédigé en majeure partie- par les conservateurs du département des objets d'art qui ont la charge du mobilier du musée du Louvre."
