It was once sold to sup port a revolution, saw one of its owners tossed into debtor’s prison, traversed the high seas and was ultimately installed in a quiet Boston home. The suite, now on display in a new and permanent exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Bos ton, was created by menuisier Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sene on commission from Marc-An toine Thierry de Ville d'Avray, the general administrator of the crown furniture. The set was created to royal standards and featured fabric with a pattern designed exclusively for the use of Louis XVI. Comprised of an alcove bed, a bergere, two fau teuils, a chaise en prie-dieu (kneeling chair), four chaises (side chairs) and an ecran (fire screen), the suite is considered to be the only complete large suite of high style late 18th Century French furniture in America. Documentation at the Garde-Meubles reveals the en tire suite was destined for Thierry’s bedchamber in his royal apartment. In the antiques literature, this set has usually been called the Swan collection, but that causes confusion since there are about 40 pieces of Swan furni ture in the MFA collection. The term “Thierry suite” has been adopted. MFA European Decorative Arts Curator Tracey Albainy noted, “High style French fur niture was at its most sophisti cated level in the 18th Century. During that time, France pro duced the most elegant furni ture in the world. The Thierry set was produced to royal stan dards with fabrics made specif ically for Louis XVI. This set is the top. It is the finest complete set of late 18th Century French furniture in America, possibly in the Western Hemisphere.” Thierry's enjoyment of the set was short-lived. The set was installed in his apartment in late 1787. The French Revolu tion broke out in July 1789. Thierry initially escaped to the countryside, but he was found and arrested for living “in Asian sumptuousness.” PUBLIC AUCTION (2) STEAM ENGINES HIT & MISS ENGINES ANTIQUE TOOLS PERSONAL PROPERTY TUBS., DEC. 17, 2002 9 A.M.

Their cells were unlocked, and the prisoners ran to the main gate, which they were surprised to find closed. A waiting mob chased the prisoners against the gate and butchered them. Bostonian merchant James Swan ar rived in France in 1787 where he hoped to trade in American produce such as wheat, tobacco and naval supplies. The destruction of social order follow ing the French Revolution placed a pre mium upon these goods, and Swan’s business prospered. In 1792 the French government declared all property of the crown, church and fleeing aristocrats to be public property. That property was subsequently sold in negotiated sales or at auction. Swan bought numerous items. Many of these he sold, but the best he shipped back to America, includ ing the Thierry bedchamber suite, where they were installed in the Dorchester (Boston) home where his wife and daughters lived. In 1808 Swan and a business partner had a falling out, and the partner al leged that Swan owed him a large amount of money. Swan refused to pay and was sentenced to debtors' prison in France. Swan lived stylishly in prison until 1830 when he was freed by another revolution. The Thierry suite was unusual in that it arrived in an American home as an in tact set. Unfortunately, upon the death of Mrs. Swan, the set was divided among four heirs. From that time for ward, the set received differing levels of use, care and reupholstering. Fortunate ly, in most instances the original uphol stery was retained beneath new layers, and this set has provided information not previously available to antiquarians. Royal Bedroom Suite To see the set in its proper historical context, one needs to realize that France had two entirely separate groups of guilds that produced furniture. The most elegant and formal of French fur niture was produced in the menuisier tradition and it made extensive use of fabrics. Curator Albainy noted, “The menuisier produced the Finest French furniture. In this period, the two finest menuisier in France were Jean-Baptiste- Claude Sene and Gorges Jacob. This set was created by Sene.” The central role of fabric with this furniture is essential for understanding the works. As gilding restorer Cynthia Moyer commented, “This type of furni ture was created as vessels to support the display of this mag nificent silk. The prima ry motifs, fringes and tassels were opulent, rare and extremely ex pensive. Wood was a secondary e'ement. In this instance it was gil ded, but in some other sets it was painted.” A separate guild of French craftsmen pro duced a high country style of furniture with characteristics often found on English furni ture. The ebeniste (cab inetmakers) crafted works that featured fine fire gilded bronzes mounted on frames ve neered with highly fig ured wood. As Moyer noted, “This furniture was created to support the ornate castings." French royals furnished their countryside re treats with this less for mal furniture. While the Thierry suite is not in this tradition, the MFA exhibition displays two examples in this style from Marie Antoinette's retreat at Hameau out side of Versailles. The architecture of the exhibition room housing this remarkable set does recall a period French bedroom with (Turn to Page B 18)
