A French 19th Century Louis XVI Style Side Table, circa 1880
About the Item
A very good quality 19th century French charming two-tier side table with a single frieze drawer
parquetry inlaid, designed with Allegories of Geography and Astronomy, with pierced three-quarter gallery surround, above a foliate and loop frieze, the front with a drawer, ormolu mounts and raised on delicate cabriole legs.
The Louis XVI furnishings and decorative style started in 1774, at the begin-ning of Louis XVI reign up until 1790. The Directoire style will succeed.
It followed a European movement return to classicism in the second half of the eighteenth century.
Louis XVI, grand-son of Louis XV, became king in 1774 at the age of 20.
Queen Marie Antoinette also very much appreciated the decorative arts.
The middle of the eighteenth century and the Louis XVI style furnishing has been heavily influenced by the discovery of the remains of Herculaneum (1738) and Pompeii in 1748.
Thus, was born the neoclassical, neo-Palladian style, incorporating Greek and Roman elements (columns, pediments, harmonious proportions, swing).
The Louis XVI furniture is by opposition to Louis XV style rigourous and of geometric shapes: rectangle, square, round and oval are in vogue.The ele-ments of ornamentation are also minimalist, symmetrical (as opposed to Louis XV) and inspiration is found in the vegetable and antique themes: flute, bay leaves, strips of ovals....
Among the most classic one is the ribbon knot and the drapery swag.
The seats are straight lines and geometric.
The chest of drawers have covered feet. They contain two to five drawers where the divisions between the drawers are often hidden. The handles are simplified and the appearance of a ring.
The "half-moon" commode is a creation of the time.
We can see furniture designed for the use of women, so called "travailleuse" or "bonheur du jour"
