Talk:Bonheur du jour

Hello?
This article is worh nothing without translating the title! "so called because..." doesn't help anyone who looked it up to learn what it means! How can one neglect to explain the direct meaning when writing an article about a foreign word? --84.161.220.125 09:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * "Daytime delight" is what one former assistant keeper at the V&A liked to call them. I actually do know one that's veneered with lacquer panels as the EB 1911 article mentioned, but quite a good number plastered with Sèvres placques, usually in apple green borders. Charles Topino made panels of marquetry of inkpots and quill pens etc that he sold to other ébénistes, who applied them to their own productions. The London cabinetmakers imitated the Parisian bonheurs du jour (note plural) and J. McLean made a specialty of them in the first decade of the C19. ...but everyone knows that. --Wetman 19:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC).
 * Thanks. Would have been great though if you had let the other readers know the meaning. A lemma has to be defined in an ecyclopedia (e.g. shoe) - especially foregin words. That should be step one of any entry. --84.161.254.144 10:03, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
