The history of the world in the 19th century is a problem: why would the 19th century be a coherent chapter? This paper answers this question through the history of objects. Each object offers a means of entering the history of the world, the phenomena of circulations and appropriations. This makes it possible to see the chronology of the establishment of networks in the19th century world, as well as the consequences, and limits of this networking. It brings the processes of domination to light. These circulations of objects are not only imperial: they also provide evidence of ongoing identity processes, especially on the scale of nations. In the forms of collection of the self-illustrated by the objects gathered in 19th century magasins, the room and the world maintain a homothetic relationship, because the world has come to the room as a global assembly of imported and stored things.

Palabras llave : nineteenth-century; globalization; industrialization; communication; 19th century; object.
