Pair French Louis XVI Style Mahogany Display Cabinets, 19th Century Paul Somani.
By Paul Somani
Located in Brighton, Sussex
A very good quality pair of late 19th century French mahogany bow fronted display cabinets, each with a gallery to the top, gilded ormolu foliate and molded mounts, central doors with a glass shelf within, a frieze drawer above a shelf beneath with a paneled back and raised on elegant cabriole legs. Signed; Paul Sormani (1817-1877), one the most important cabinetmakers of the 19th century, was born in Venice. Having trained as a cabinetmaker, he moved to Paris where he opened his first shop in 1847 specializing in furniture made in the Louis XV and Louis XVI style. When she decorated her palace, Empress Eugenie, the wife of Emperor Napoleon III, who was particularly fond of furniture in the 18th century styles, engaged Sormani to create spectacular pieces to compliment her period examples. Sormani was able to meet the Empress’s high standards with the excellent quality of the cabinet work, bronze mounts, use of lacquer and unusual marbles. Sormani’s firm was a maker of fine “meubles de luxe”, (deluxe furniture) whose work was described in the 1867 Exposition Universelle catalogue as “toute sa production revele une qualite d’execution de tout premier ordre”. He received a medal of premiere classe at the Exposition Universelle of 1855, followed by another medal at the 1862 exposition in London The workshop also made eclectic furniture...

Pair of 19th Century French Louis XVI Painted Confiturier Cabinets
Located in Dallas, TX
Elegant in their tall, narrow proportions, this handsome pair of antique confiturier cabinets combines restrained Louis XVI design with a beautifully time-worn painted finish. Crafted in northern France circa 1880, each cabinet stands on four tapered and fluted legs beneath a carved apron enriched with a repeating vertical motif. The façade features a shallow upper drawer framed with molded panels and centered by a circular carved medallion fitted with a decorative metal pull. Below, a single cabinet door is embellished with a recessed geometric panel accented at the corners with hand-carved floral rosettes. Fluted corner pilasters and molded side panels reinforce the neoclassical character of the design, while the original-style iron escutcheons and keys add further period detail. Both cabinets retain a wonderfully textured, distressed painted finish in soft blue-gray and pale gray tones, with natural wear and traces of the underlying wood showing through along the edges and moldings. The backs remain unpainted, revealing the traditional wood construction and warm aged patina. Originally designed as confituriers, or French jelly cabinets...
