Description - Luxury Trades and Consumerism in Ancien Régime Paris: Studies in the History of the Skilled Workforce by Robert Fox

Since the 16th century, Paris has been a leading arbiter of taste and the ultimate source of luxury goods for Europe and the world. This text examines the origins of the luxury trades of Paris and their role in the wider economic development of France and Europe. It aims to provide an entry into some of the many questions raised by the growth of the luxury trades, bringing together eight detailed case studies of specific trades, with five more wide-ranging and theoretical contributions. It aims to offer both the results of research and a range of perspectives and methodological reflections on the subject as a whole.
