Louis XVI Wall-mounted Sculptures

LOUIS XVI STYLE

Reflecting the final era of royal opulence before the upheaval of the French Revolution, antique Louis XVI furniture features more angular shapes than the Rococo curves of the Louis XV style, harkening back to the imposing grandeur of Louis XIV.

Dating between 1750 and 1800, an era that overlapped with the last king of France whose reign was cut short by the guillotine, Louis XVI furniture, known as the goût grec, is emblematic of the neoclassical revision that French furniture underwent during the second half of the 18th century.

Authentic Louis XVI furniture characteristics include clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. This was informed by a burgeoning interest in antiquity in the 18th century, owing to new archaeological excavations at sites including Pompeii and Herculaneum. It largely eclipsed the more East Asian–influenced ornamentation of Louis XV for something more geometric and symmetrical.

The Louis XVI style was defined by what was being created for the palatial rooms at Versailles and Fontainebleau, particularly for the queen, with cabinetmaker Jean-Henri Riesener being a favorite of Marie-Antoinette’s for his luxurious pieces accented with gilded bronze and marquetry. Furniture maker Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené was also a major designer of the period, with his pieces for the royal residences adorned with giltwood and neoclassical touches like tapered columns for chair legs and laurel leaf carvings. Cabinetmaker Adam Weisweiler occasionally incorporated into his furniture porcelain panels produced by Sèvres, a popular manufacturer of European ceramics that served the crown with serveware, vases and other decorative objects.

Louis XVI Style Giltwood Sunburst Form Barometer Casing
Located in Nashville, TN
French gilt barometer case, early 1900's incorporating earlier 18th century parts. The center wood facing dated 1789 and encased by a rare or at least unusual carved sunburst .Presents very well with bleeding of red bole against the gilding . Highly decorative. The sunburst part and the dial have warping or backwards tilt . Not in working order (toxic mercury tubing removed ) and priced accordingly . Primarily a decorative casing for wall decoration and presentation. In very good condition. The gilding sealed but with usual wear and bleeding of red bole. The wood dial earlier and dated 1789 , is warped on left and right sides most likely from sun or heat .Typical age and use nicks , cracks , minor losses and wear . The mercury barometer was invented in 1643 by Torricelli, a student of Galileo, in Florence, Italy. This remarkable device is used to measure atmospheric pressure, and those changes in pressure indicate a change in the weather. Interestingly, barometers were not originally used for meteorological observations, but for measuring heights and to use in air pump...

French, Period Louis XVI Giltwood Barometer, circa 1780
Located in Dallas, TX
This rare French barometer is from the Louis XVI period, circa 1780. The giltwood barometer is topped with a crown of laurel leaves surrounding a stylized globe medallion. Husks of laurel leaves tied with ribbons encircle most of the glass covered face, and a rectangular block that is adorned with more laurel leaf husks extends downward from the bottom of the face. The molding around the glass is beaded and stepped. The paper face has various weather conditions ranging from tres sec (“very dry”) to tempete (“storm”). Two iron arrows extend from the centrally located compass starburst.
