Revolutionary furniture at Vizille

As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, the Museum of the French Revolution in Vizille is hosting an exhibition, "French Revolution Style: Furniture, Works of Art, and Wallpapers" (30th June 2023 — 11th March 2024).


Among featured items is an Arabesque wallpaper produced by the Réveillon factory in 1790 (acquired 2004).  

Many of the exhibits have been loaned from the Mobilier national,  including a set of Jacob chairs and a bureau by Adam Weisweiller.   Another chair was originally made for the Manège,  for the use of deputies of the Legislative Assembly.
