In the 1850s and 1860s, black was the color of luxury, it is reminiscent of ebony and lacquerware from the Far East. The bourgeoisie bought furniture and objects in papier-mâché made from boiled, lacquered and gilded cardboard, a technique which made it possible to obtain, at a lower cost, sets of shine and complex shapes.
